Gas Masks For Free

And I've got a lasting addition
Everyone's got something that needs fixin

So I'll bring the gun
And You bring the Bullet
And I'll point it at your head
Just tell me when to Pull it

And I feel desensitized
The Media has melted my mind
Just Give it time and you will see
Our ears are just waiting to bleed

Congress has yet to break me
And the Media has yet to shake me
It's all the same when we turn on the news
We've already figured out we're screwed

Because every 5 minutes another one dies
And every 6 minutes another mother's cried
Every 7 Minutes another fire's started
Every 8 minutes another union's parted

And every 9 minutes, Here comes another flood
...and every 10 minutes we've spilled a little more blood

And as we sit and watch the news.
It's all just crap
I already knew
Someone raped Someone
And Someone Died
Theres a new disease
And the president Lied

So Fill up on Intoxications
Gas masks Come free with perscriptions
Everything you eat is laced with disease
Someone Lied to you when they told you freedom was free

I had so much fun writing this poem sadly enough
I was just downstairs and thinking of a movie I saw and a song I like ( I have ADD my mind go wild alot o_o..)
And then I just kinda started singing and screaming this on my own coz no ones really home right now so I can do that.
I hurried up and wrote it all down before I forgot it all.

I hate it when I have notepad open and I'm ready to write and I cant and then I'll just be bored and be ....ADD-ish..and then it all just flows out.............................okay so I dont hate it it's just weird..o_o oh well

And for future reference...me plus...crazy emo mosh pit thrashing around in my kitchen equals future bruises

Oh hell, thoes are some very nice lyrics.
I really like "So I'll bring the gun and You bring the Bullet and I'll point it at your head just tell me when to Pull it" I can really hear Conor Oberst singing that, haha.
The whole thing had a nice flow and the "Break me/shake me" line is nice too. G'damn, good job.

I am the same way when I go to write. And the poem is really good. I really like the last line: "Someone Lied to you when they told you freedom was free"

"Because every 5 minutes another one dies
And every 6 minutes another mother's cried"
shouldnt you change "one dies" to "one's died"
or
change "mother's cried" to "mother cries"
...??
