They're gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you, son
So they can watch all the things you do
Because the drugs never work
They're gonna give you a smirk
'Cause they got methods of keeping you clean
They're gonna rip up your heads,
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine
They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me
The boys and girls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
You're never gonna fit in much, kid
But if you're troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did
They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me
Ohhh yeah!
They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me
All together now!
Teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

They are such tyrants. What they say will go. What we say will not go. They pretend to give us a voice by setting up a student forum. But matter of fact is that, they think that our suggestions are shit. When it really is what we feel. Combined recess is a failure. No matter what the grand plan behind it was for us to meet up between levels for project. Do they think we would do that? NOOO. In fact, combined recess has sort of become the period where the canteen becomes overcrowded with people, the queues snake all the way to the back. Everybody is hot and bothered, people bring food from home, stallholders earn less. It's such a failure that nobody is happy with it. I doubt most of the teachers are very happy with it either.
Another point of contention: The secondary 1s get on my nerve. SO MUCH. Especially a certain class whose class tee is blue. Ugly bright blue. They cut in front of all the queues, they piss everybody off. They don't even get the hint when people behind them voice out their displeasure, that they should act with decorum, that there ar many people in queue. I don't understand them. Do they think that they can get away with it. If I see another one of them doing it, I will blow my top. Honestly, isn't lining in queue the basic courtesy one should have. Didn't their primary school teachers teach them? Or for that matter of fact their kindergarten teachers. And it is not that we are being snobbish about people cutting queue. Let's see if they dare to cut the queue in a hawker center. They would probably have insults hurled at them. And being the delicate little flowers or 'jade' that they are, they would probably crumble under the insults. Being courteous, thinking of others and apparently street smart, is not their forte.
The forum just brought my irritation out again. The prefects were annoying everybody with their 'you are acknowledged'. ??? Well, maybe i'm too dense to realise that that's the proper way a forum is suppossed to be conducted in. But that's beside the point. When we bring up something that we feel should be changed, such as the common recess and the classrooms being locked up, they feel compelled to explain their actions, in a tone that was embellished with irritation and their mindset that they are right just shone through.
The most irritating thing was the locked up classrooms. If classrooms in primary schools can be left open, why can't it be left open in secondary schools? Don't tell me we as secondary school pupils cannot conduct ourselves properly and not steal other's properties? I'm sure we can. Maybe it is true that Singaporeans will never become a nation with grace. Hah. If we at 16 cannot do it, how can we do it when we as adults have already become cynical.
let your heart out.
