Stupid rich kid school!

Singing and Attack

     Seeing as how classes are still going on, I walk towards Music Room 2. I set my stuff on one of the chairs and look at all the instruments. Maybe I could practice.

     I grab a black guitar and sit near the window. I search for a song to play...

     "You, with your words like knives and swords and weapons that you use against me

You have knocked me off my feet again got me feeling like I'm nothing

You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard, calling me out when I'm wounded

You, pickin' on the weaker man

     "Well, you can take me down with just one single blow

But you don't know what you don't know

     "Someday I'll be living in a big old city

And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me

And all you're ever gonna be is mean

     "Why you gotta be so mean?"

     I shut my eyes close and think of my old school.

     "You, with your switching sides and your walk-by lies and your humiliation

You, have pointed out my flaws again as if I don't already see them

I'll walk with my head down trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you

I just wanna feel okay again

     "I'll bet you got pushed around, somebody made you cold

But the cycle ends right now 'cause you can't lead me down that road

And you don't know what you don't know

     "Someday I'll be living in a big old city

     "And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me

And all you're ever gonna be is mean

     "Why you gotta be so mean?"

     I remember I used to sing this song everyday when I came home. No on was home so no one heard me. They didn't hear me banging on the walls. They didn't hear me screaming for it to stop. And I wouldn't let them hear that.

     "And I can see you years from now in a bar, talking over a football game

With that same big loud opinion but nobody's listening

Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things

Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing

     "But all you are is mean

All you are is mean and a liar and pathetic and alone in life

And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean

     "But someday I'll be living in a big old city

And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah

Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me

And all you're ever gonna be is mean

     "Why you gotta be so mean?"

     Aiko didn't even know about this. And it became worse when she died.
