A Conversation With Myself--WEbring #8

I don't really think I understood what I was getting myself into when I suggested the following topic for this week's webring assignment:

Write a topic of your choosing using ONLY lyrics from songs. You must cite the songs (with artist) at the bottom of your entry. Entries must be at least 200 words long (or use 20 songs). There must be a recognizable story line (not just "here are 20 songs I like").

But here goes. Please note that there is some obscenity, which I blame on the shocking social mores of the music industry. But damn do they make catchy songs.

My life's a trial. (1)

I know what you're saying. (2)

Everyday I fight a war against the mirror. (3)
I've been depressed and I get so stressed. (4)

Don't get so down on yourself. (5)

It's a problem, that I'm not solving
Don't mind admitting I feel like quitting. (6)

Take the dreams that should have died
The ones that kept you lying awake
When you should've been all right
And throw 'em all away. (7)

I live my life all by myself. (8)

And you can do what you want
Do what you like. (9)

I don't need no reasons or excuses for myself
I laugh to keep from cryin' like everybody else. (10)

The future still looks good
And you've got time to rectify
All the things that you should. (11)

I feel fine enough, I guess
Considering everything's a mess. (12)

I've got a word or two
To say about the things that you do. (13)
I love you,
But you're boring, you know. (14)

I don't know how I'm gonna live my life this way.
Don't want to have to try,
I'll just sit around and cry. (15)

I really do love you
But you're so particularly boring. (16)

Maybe, if I get lucky,
I'll just fuckin' die. (17)

Blah blah blah. (18)
You’ve got so many problems. (19)
Life sucks. What else is new? That’s tough. (20)

Feel so dry, I'm dead inside
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. (21)

You gotta get up, get out and get something. (22)
Girl, all I got to say is - get a job bitch. (23)
