i just recently heard the song "i'm a fake" by the used and i can honestly say that it was the stupidest, most degratible song ever. all it is is about cutting. i needed to write a counter song for it. cutting is beyond stupid.

A CRY FOR CONFORMITY
I am so stressed out
Because of what Becky said
What should I do now?
Bert says I should flirt with death
My arms covered in medals
About how my life’s so hard
A flower without petals
Acceptance with a scar

I dwell on drama instead of
Things that really matter
I need a reminder of how bad
Things can be once I get better
There are forces taking away my rights
But I’d rather worry for something I’ll forget about
In a matter of minutes
I want to fit in, and smart kids stand out

I’m only fifteen, but I
Know this is what I have to do
I need to scar myself over
What won’t matter in a year or two
And I’ll push away those friends that tell me
What I’m doing is wrong
Only to realize that, in the end
They cared about me all along

I dwell on drama instead of
Things that really matter
I need a reminder of how bad
Things can be once I get better
There are forces taking away my rights
But I’d rather worry for something I’ll forget about
In a matter of minutes
I want to fit in, and smart kids stand out

Well I’m too scared to try to change the world
So I depend on teenage angst
And when it gets too much for me
I do what’s cool and lacerate
My arms covered in medals
About how my life’s so hard
A flower without petals
Acceptance with a scar

I dwell on drama instead of
Things that really matter
I need a reminder of how bad
Things can be once I get better
I don’t care about the long run
All I care is what I see
I don’t want any help
This is a cry for conformity

nice concept to write about since its all too true. great job.

i agree... you really know your stuff...

thanks!!!

good job. i reallly likee it.

Ahh it's too bad this is actually...true. It's awesome, though, nonetheless.

This is great, and great is an understatement, because all of your work is great. But this is probably one of the best songs I've ever read by you. As always, keep up the good work.

I simply adore all of your writing. I can relate to everything. great job

Gahh, man. I love your work, Lunchbox...I come back just to read it.

I love this one. I really do.

Once again...*in awe*

Exactly...
