I’m just your average over-caffeinated lunatic
The one who belongs in a nut-house
But wouldn’t be able to stay
Because the insanity of the outside world
Makes me so much happier
Then the sane monotony
Of clean white walls all around

I live on overpriced coffee and undercooked pizza
I thrive on the dance floor
Always wanting a faster beat
Than the DJ’s going to give me
And this makes me sort of sad…

I can’t wait for the weekend to end
So I can see my friends again
They’re just your average under-caffeinated lunatics
The ones who belong in a nut-house
With me

But we wouldn’t be able to stay
Because we would cause complete and total mayhem
Bringing the outside world in
And they’d have to chuck us out
Because we’d paint their sane monotonous clean white walls
Purple, green, blue, yellow, red, and black
Leave the white for the insanity of the outside world
And we’ll be happy to take it with us
When we leave these sane, monotonous, clean white walls
For the real nut-house
That’s through the exit door

Haha! I loved this! Your piece had a nice, consistent rythym, and it was full of wit. I'm not quite sure, but I think it was meant to have a serious tone. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Loved this:
"I live on overpriced coffee and undercooked pizza"

And this:
"Always wanting a faster beat"

Nice job!

Ya know, Assassin, I'm not entirely sure if it was supposed to be serious or not. Perhaps serious in a more ironic way...?
Thanks for the review. Appreciate it.

LOVED IT

i always knew i was an under-caffeinated lunatic although occasionally i become over-caffeinated

my favorite part was:

They’re just your average under-caffeinated lunatics
The ones who belong in a nut-house

But we wouldn’t be able to stay
Because we would cause complete and total mayhem
Bringing the outside world in
And they’d have to chuck us out
Because we’d paint their sane monotonous clean white walls
Purple, green, blue, yellow, red, and black
Leave the white for the insanity of the outside world
And we’ll be happy to take it with us
When we leave these sane, monotonous, clean white walls
