How the hell did that happen?!

My girlfriend walked out on me yesterday
But strangely, I’m not overcome with grief
Even though she’s gone somewhere far away
I’m left more in a state of disbelief
I’m still wondering what the hell went wrong!
We spent many happy times together
Building up a romance that was so strong
So how could our love not last forever?!
I tell you, I’ve been cheated! I’ve been robbed!
Why did she want the change?! How should I know?!
Someone else will now be doing my job
And I’ve become useless – What a cruel blow

How the hell could something like this happen?!
My girlfriend’s dumped me for a lesbian!!!

The patriot

That patriot said: “I love my country!
“It is the greatest place under the sun
“I’m proud to be one of this nation’s sons
“And nothing will take that away from me!”
What the hell is this? You must be joking
You haven’t said stuff like this before, pal
So why are we hearing this speech now?
I don’t believe the words you have spoken
A preach of faith or a saving of face?
Wake up buddy – You have nowhere to hide
There’s no escape – You can’t turn the tide
Your world’s ending at a rapid pace

So now you’re listening? Don’t make us gag
And come out from hiding behind that flag

10 Dollars

Hey mister. I will give you ten dollars
Just because I want to see a mere smile
I need relief from this world so vile
These days, people never seem to bother
None want to look on the bright side of life
Thus, it’s hard to see a grin for the frowns
Any mention of joy is trampled down
In favour of moaning on pain and strife
For in this world, the pessimists are king
You think it will kill them to something nice
Complaints aren’t for the weak or a vice
Guess it’s easier to say horrid things

So far I haven’t seen a smile today
So how much more do you want me to pay?

The dirge of the broken-hearted

I am the most hideous man on this planet
I’m a freak – unloved and unlovable
I can’t escape. Destiny has been set
But I don’t find this fate acceptable
Affection is the wine I want to sup
I declare that I don’t want to be alone
But people keep telling me to shut up.
Nobody wants to hear the monster moan
Nobody knows the pain of loneliness
And who’d want to be in my company?
They all say I’m just a freak and worthless
And I’m left buried deep in apathy

No one’s listening to these words I’m sending
Because monsters don’t get happy endings

Stop the world - I want to get off

Welcome to the world: Here we all hate you
Sorry but its true: You’re all stupid fools
This is our domain: We make all the rules
So this is what you are going to do
If you don’t get it no one’s on your side
As stupidity is our meat and drink
Before you open your mouth you must think
Or else you’re a target: And you can’t hide
We don’t care ‘bout you or how much you rock
It’s the truth so stop kicking up a fuss
And don’t think you can speak out against us
Because you’ll make yourself a laughing stock

Those are the rules: the master have spoken
But you won’t hear us say we were joking

Full moon rising

In this time in the cover of darkness
I feel a cold shiver run down my spine
And the warmth of your body next to mine
And the soft touch of your hand on my breast
I sense white satin but see only you
As we bathe in a shower of moonlight
I feel your heartbeat when I hold you tight
Give me your lips: I want to savour their brew
But when we are together in this way
It seems nothing else will make my head turn
The skies may collapse and the world may burn
But I won’t care when I’ve someplace to stay

But now, your head rests upon my shoulder
Thus making the world a lot less colder

The hopeless romantic

I write excellent romance poetry
And women all love me for doing it
On moonlit nights, I got outside and sit
And count all the stars that shine before me
I’m not afraid to have my heart laid bare
I’ll do anything to make our love gleam
I’ll take you to town and buy you ice-cream
And then some chocolates for us to share
You name it and I will do anything
Picnic in the park, buying you roses
Even holding hands or rubbing noses
But it all doesn’t change a single thing

I do all the things that make people sick
All because I’m a hopeless romantic

Suicide is NOT the solution!

People say they lead a miserable life
Being dumped, broke or a drug abuser
But I say this: those people are losers
So put down that gun and put down that knife
Hear me out: All those morons just gave in
Don’t throw in the towel. Don’t moan and complain.
Life’s not easy but don’t fall down in pain
Don’t give up! If you can fight, you can win
Don’t think ‘bout putting a gun to your head
Because you certainly won’t get a prize
You do that you cut yourself down to size
There’s nothing cool ‘bout making yourself dead

Yes you can fall down when things are grimmer
Or you can stand up and be a winner
