Short Stories/Song Lyrics

177 - parents

I was born in a messed up century. My favourite flavoured sweets are raspberry amphetamines. I bought a carburetor at age 16. I brush my teeth with bleach 'cause I ain't got time for cavities. My daddy put a gun to my head and said, "If you kiss a boy, I'm gonna shoot you dead". I tied him up with gaffer tape and I locked him in a shed. Then, I went out to the garden and I fucked my best friend. My high hopes are getting low because these people are so old with the way they think about it all. If I tried, I would never know. My high hopes are getting low, but I know I'll never be alone. It's alright! We'll survive because parents ain't always right.
     I threw a toaster in my bath and watched my mum and dad laugh. I see a thousand volts go through the son they wish they never had. They told me casual affection leads to sexual infection. It's hard to get an erection when you're so used to rejection. The teacher fucked the preacher, but then he had to leave her. He said he had to wash away the sins of a male cheerleader. "Hi, nice to meet ya," I've got nothing to believe in. Let me know when my breathing stops. My high hopes are getting low because these people are so old with the way they think about it all. If I tried, I would never know. My high hopes are getting low, but I know I'll never be alone. It's alright! We'll survive because parents ain't always right.
     Tick, tock! Stop the clock because I get the feeling that I'm gonna get shot. My high hopes are getting low because these people are so old with the way they think about it all. If I tried, I would never know. My high hopes are getting low, but I know I'll never be alone. It's alright! We'll survive because parents ain't always right.
