Suburban Boy Scout

(Melanie Thompson)

I always wanted to be a Girl Scout. I never got the chance though. The organization wasn't available where I lived. However, The Boy Scouts were. My brother was a Boy Scout. These lyrics are not meant in any way to shade The Boy Scouts. Just the opposite. Without The Boy Scouts my brother would have more than likely ended up in prison or dead.

Verse 1.
 Worms in my brain. 
 Feeling no pain. 
 Disconnected. 
 My thoughts leaking out.

 I took my meds. 
 If not, you'd be dead. 
 Protected. 
 I have no doubt.

 PlayStation Five 
 keeps me alive. 
 Rejected. 
 The school tossed me out.

 My Fender Strat. 
 I'm pounding E flat.
 Perfected.
 Suburban Boy Scout.

Chorus.
 Badges of Honor
 with every cut.
 Bloody blue ribbons
 with every stunt.

 Beat up the homeless.
 Get a high score.
 Post it on Facebook.
 You can do more.

Verse 2.
 I hate the cat.
 The cat ate the rat.
 Dissect it.
 Trash and then bounce.

 Hey little boy.
 Want a new toy?
 Inspect it.
 Buy a half ounce.

 Keys in the car.
 Won't go too far.
 Wreak it.
 Earn some street clout.

 Out in the woods
 to bury the goods.
 Collect it.
 Suburban Boy Scout.

Chorus.
 Badges of Honor
 with every cut.
 Bloody blue ribbons
 with every stunt.

 Beat up the homeless.
 Get a high score.
 Post it on Facebook.
 You can do more.

Bridge.
 We're no goody-goody goofs.
 You tools.
 We're no tooty-tooty fruits.
 You fools.

 We are gore 
 and cringe 
 and wrath.

 We are hate
 and crime. 
 Outcasts.

Verse 3.
 Troupe six six six. 
 Out for just kicks.
 Announce it.
 Tell all your friends.

 Don't be a slave.
 Conform and behave.
 Denounce it.
 We recommend.

 Come to the park
 late after dark.
 Swear it.
 And we'll let you in.

 Be a new breed.
 Recite the creed.
 Dare it.
 Follow the trend.

Chorus.
 Badges of Honor
 with every cut.
 Bloody blue ribbons
 with every stunt.

 Beat up the homeless.
 Get a high score.
 Post it on Facebook.
 You can do more.

Ghost Kids

By Melanie Thompson

Every kid wants to be a superhero. And as adults, we should help them with that dream. I grew up loving Batman and Wonder Woman. Some ADULT comic writers just want to be rich. Nothing wrong with wanting to be successful. But they fill pages and pages with pure trash. Evil things should be written about. But why make the evildoers the good guys?

Kleptomaniac Jack

By Melanie Thompson

There is always a reason why people do bad things. And it's never their own fault. Blame it on your pain. That seems to work best when you are confronted with the consequences of your action. It worked for me. Then I grew up.

Let Me Be Blunt

By Melanie Thompson

I was scrolling the internet and happened upon a video of a mother shooting, in court, the man who murdered her 7-year-old daughter Anna, after he sexually assaulted her. The look on that mother's face was breathtaking. These lyrics were inspired by that look.

Whispers of the Cosmic Ballet

By Edward McBride

I have tried to create a dreamlike atmosphere throughout the lyrics. The connection between the individual and the cosmos is expressed --the idea of finding grace, learning to fly, and navigating life's ebbs and flows resonates with a sense of hope and resilience. In the outro, it invites the reader to join in the cosmic dance and embrace the dreams that lie within the whispers of the night

Famous

By Howard Aronson

This is a lyric about a relationship with a potential star, who becomes one. As the relationship goes along and the person becomes a bigger star they leave, and when they return there's always less of them that comes back. The person who isn't the star knows that the days are numbered and they will leave one day for good. The only good thing about it was that person got famous from the other. Famous for being the other one in the relationship. Even though they should have known better to get involved and stay in the relationship, they did.
