Release The Veterans!

Chad says
This town is nothing but potheads
And sluts with too much class
To make money off their talents

Lewis says
For a town of white, country Catholics
He was surprised that most abide by
"Live and let live"

Cheslock says
This town is one giant sinkhole
To grow into a factory job
Is every student's goal

I say
We're all blessed this town is so bad
It makes us want to better ourselves
Then stab it in the back

Well I found nine or ten guys
And this one girl in third grade
Who could admit
They tolerated me
They're all spreading out
While I'm stuck in my bedroom
"And yes
This town's still the same"

So everyone is doing what they were supposed to do
I'm wondering how long before I cave in too
I'm grateful that these angels let me call them my friends
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to bed

Matt says
That he's sorry he's been distant
We grew apart, went separate ways
I hold nothing against him

Drew says
That she's running her own business
She says she misses me, 'cause it makes me happy
I say I miss her, 'cause she makes me happy

Abby says
She just wants someone who wants her
I guess that means unless you're fat
Or unless you really love her

Torres says
The English language is in my command
So here I am, wasting it
On a game of Simon Says

My double-digit years were spent intent on dying alone
Bailey would be better off
Without me forcing him to scream my cruddy lyrics
Into the microphone

So everyone is doing what they were supposed to do
I'm wondering how long before I cave in too
I'm grateful these angels let me call them my friends
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to bed

This year could just end and I'd still be a wreck
I have an addiction to caffeine and a hatred of sex
I can't even sleep through the night or be happy
Without taking a pill for the rest of my life

(This year could just end and we'd still be a wreck!
We have an addiction to caffeine and T.J. hates sex!
We can't even sleep through the night or be happy!
Without taking a pill for the rest of our lives!)

"...Yugioh 5D's Fanfiction..."

This is the fanfiction to which I was referring. There are a few overlooked proofreading errors here and there, and sometimes the descriptions between the dialogue in certain conversations can be tedious, but all in all it's a great story. It was good enough to keep me reading all through last night, so that says something. Of course, a prior knowledge of Yugioh 5D's, let alone Yugioh in general, would be recommended to fully appreciate the representation of the characters and the interaction between them.

If nothing else, this is Akiza Izinksi, so you can understand why I like the anime and this fanfiction.

(Not just the breasts, but the hair is awesome, too.)

Beautiful Rose / Morning Star

I don’t see Nikai that much anymore

Every time I do

He’s sleeping on my couch

And he’s gone before I wake up

Dusty moved to Texas

I’m pretty sure he still lives there

I see his posts on Facebook

But we haven’t talked in years

The last time I saw Forest

He was still working at Kmart

Still talking about making movies

Still wanting me to help

The last time I saw Matt

He was on his way home from work

Thought our house was on fire

Wanted to make sure we were all okay

All the bridges I never burned

The planks are dropping one by one

Into the water underneath

I guess the damage is never really done

I never went to sleep last night

I read all thirty-two chapters

Of a Yugioh 5D’s fanfiction

Just to stroke my inferiority complex

And now I’m working 8 to 5

In a place where I cannot wear shorts

But you’re not an obese hopeless romantic

You wouldn’t know how much I hurt

I’m listless and abandoned

I doubt the ground I stand on
