tongue in cheek of course, since teen angst has been around forever. but i found these lyrics in my old high school book (meaning, the 80's) and they made me laugh about how some things never change...now that i'm old, crusty and married it's funny to look back and see the things that really got me going
---------
People said you were easily replaced
But they just saw your face
And all the other faces just like yours
Who's to blame, you don't give them a chance
They are running around
Chasing dreams, but you, and you just take it
Tell them the truth
You are more than they know, do they know or do you even care
You can't believe
They can't see you - to them you're just a pretty face
---------
at least i didn't rhyme every line! go, 16-year-old me!
edit - wow, jogging the memory. i just remembered I was listening to New Order's "Low-Life" when I wrote this. is it sad that I still listen to the same stuff?
