To drink or not to drink
To screw or not to screw
The teenage basics
If we only listened to our parents

To drink is a social status
You are cool if you do
your lame if you don't
can't we all just get along

Longing to hold on to what is true
I want to rebel, out of the crowd
I want to drink and do whatever I can
is there any thing else?

I have a constant whisper in my head
I have something better for you
Those will only please you for a little
but my love, its eternal

Why did I grow up in chruch
All I did was hurt
Surrounded by people who stare
Longing for something thats, not there

I have the picture in my head of the Rain movie
Hes holding on to his son
Telling him everythings going to be okay
as the rain pounded by their feet

He held his son close, told him he loved him
He said that during the storm thats God
Hes holding you tight
Telling me everythings going to be okay

I beg take this teenager away
I might rebel but let me run back
But for now, I am just going to sit
and ponder everything you have done for me

I like this, Mal.  Interesting...  All the things society tells us we're supposed to do as teenagers, yet, I really dont think I'm all that uncool for not doing those things.  I dunno, maybe I really am a lame band nerd, but I guess that might be something I should be proud of.

If someboy laughs at me, does that make me funny or just plain stupid?

To tell you the truth, I'm horrible with titles..
but the first thing that comes to mind when reading this is "the status quo"
Dunno if that helps or brings to mind anything.
Good luck on the title...
Oh! I liked this very much.
