Ok so almost all the stuff i try to write comes out like poetry. I'm having trouble picturing my words in a song, but anyway. Here is my first one I've decided to share. Fifteen years old remember I know it needs help, but I really like the message I;m trying to get across with this song so I want to work on it. It's about how everything has changed for a kid in the past 5 or 6 years(post 9/11 , columbine, SARS, etc.)
________________________________________________________________
Verses
Does anyone recall, years before the towers would fall?
Kids would walk home alone, nobody use to need a cellphone.
Do you remember when, CNN wasn't so hell bent on
Scaring the shit out of you?
They banned merry go rounds, and had them torn out of the ground.
They said we had to be inside, before the streetlights started to shine.
Strangers became enemies, all thanks to Larry King.
I remember when, there'd be some good news now and then.
Chorus
But then 20/20 had to warn all the mommy's about
Child rape, and Columbine, rising crime, teen suicide.
I remember when
The schoolyard didn't have a fence
But now all news is bad news.

So that's all I've got so far. I'm working on more verses, probably a bridge or maybe a rockin solo . Any input is greatly appreciated.
