we're probably the only two.

ha. radio sucks so much.
we are the brand new beatniks. we are the down and outers.
we are the bleeding hearts, beating syncopated, broken rhythm.
our speed is often break neck. we need to slow it down.
tired of being sleepless. tired of being broken.

Nah, the original's really bad, too. Which is why I really don't know why I downloaded it. I hate the song, I hate Avril. Yet I listened to it. :neutral: I'm stupid.

wow! I just saw a song in my kazaa that said
"Are You Sad - Avril Lavigne" .... It ended up being just the mistitled OLP song though.

sorry to bring this up, but I finally decided to download this song.

Fucking hilarious. :lol: :lol: :lol:

During breakfast, Sarah and I kept on looking at each other, screaming "WAKE UP!"

and then she sings "laalallaalalala" :lol:

the best part is when you hear a fan saying, "what????" on the bootleg. THAT was the best.
HARDCORE!!!

OMG. I can't believe I din't think fo you
until now because when I think on
a scale of one to ten you're like YWELVE.
No, seriously?

I <3 my HLP!!!!!

Oh. My. God. Chop Suey is a good song. Avril's rendition is not.

Her rendition isn't supposed to be .. it was obviously a joke .. that's why the band members were laughing and joking afterwards .. something to get a laugh out of the crowd ..

Obviously. But why would anyone want to make themselves look that ridiculous?

Hmmm, isn't Avril just an image? Because, you know, she was a country singer well before she was punk music's new godsend. < vomits all over himself >
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Who cares if she was a country singer before .. she also sang in her church choir .. does that matter? No ... and people made her into an image but whether you want to admit it or not .. she has talent.

She can sing, I will say that. She is a whole hell of a lot better than Britney Spears, but then again, who isn't? I am sick of the image she tries to stick to. She isn't punk, at all, yet she says she is? Just because you wear funny bracelets and a tie doesn't mean you are punk. When she sings about something worthwhile like the government, then I will buy into the whole punk image. Until then, I will continue to despise her.
