...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.

So kids are back in school, and the government's using the wages they didn't have to pay the teachers to give the schools the things they want. Kind of ironic that some people tried to say that teachers were just in it for the money, when they essencially gave up two weeks of pay directly to kids. How many people do you know that would do that?

Since when did people lose the right to bargain for a fair wage? Since when it was illegal to break the law? Since Dictator Campbell went to Hawaii on a little booze spin.
