i heard that song (i'm a fake) again. needed to write about it again.
STOP KILLING MY FRIENDS You’re spewing rhetoric that doesn’t mean anything And make it sound as profound as the Ten Commandments Well I can write un-rhyming speeches, too Don’t you realize people take you seriously? And it must be because you’re a cutie Because you’ve proven numerous times you have shit for brains If you’re so depressed all the time learn how to deal with it Don’t have your legion of teenage worshipers Follow you to the sewer Cut yourself? Smoke? Drink? f**k? What next? Heil Hitler? If you’re not against the problem, you’re against the solution It’s best you actually comprehend what you defile the paper with I’d appreciate if you’d stop killing my friends! If you’re not afraid to die then do it already If you’re not afraid to f**k, then go f**k yourself to death But don’t drag my generation into your sweltering pot of misery There’s a world of hope for us, don’t say you’ve been there and there’s nothing left You are a fake so f**king remake yourself Step down from the throne of bullshit you cerate yourself There’s a utopian civilization in production here And you’re laughing at boobs and farts I’d appreciate it if you would Stop killing my friends! Stop killing them! Your lips on the mic is the finger on the kill switch Stop killing my friends! Stop killing them! You aren’t helping decrease the teen Suicide statistics of today I’m left to wipe the faces You pissed on via radio waves You teach a crash course on how to mope And hope commenced it’s foul decay Ten songs in an hour, the rest is just jargon Too bad you haven’t said a thing worth saying I’d appreciate it if you would Stop killing my friends! Stop killing them! Your lips on the mic is the finger on the kill switch Stop killing my friends! Stop killing them! I’d appreciate it if you would Stop killing my friends! Stop killing them! Reverend Bert Jones? Reverend Jim McCracken? Stop killing my friends! Stop killing them! Bert Manson? Charles McCracken? The Bert-bob comet? The Hail-McCracken comet? Reverend Bert Jones? Reverend Jim McCracken? Fans of the used? Or used fans? If you’re not afraid to die then do it already If you’re not afraid to f**k, then go f**k yourself to death But don’t drag my generation into your sweltering pot of misery There’s a world of hope for us, don’t say you’ve been there and there’s nothing left You aren’t helping decrease the teen Suicide statistics of today I’m left to wipe the faces You pissed on via radio waves I’d appreciate it if you would Stop killing my friends! Stop killing them! Your lips on the mic is the finger on the kill switch Stop killing my friends! Stop killing them! I’d appreciate it if you would Stop killing my friends! Stop killing them! Reverend Bert Jones? Reverend Jim McCracken? Stop killing my friends! Stop killing them! |

At times I like The Used, but you're right. What's up with what bands are singing about these days? These are the people that MTV and Fuse and stupid Teen Radio and TV Stations want us to look up to, but they're pretty much telling us they want to "screw, drink, do drugs, then die" all in one night, and that we should too.
I agree that this is definately one of your best works.. And I wish that bands would stop killing my friends as well. |

Hehe it was long, but worth the read. Rhetoric...I love that word. The sad thing is I like that song.
 Just the music, though, I swear! But good job. Anonymous (hehe) should read these - has she?
