Hey everybody! I don't post here at all, really, but I've been a lyricist in my spare time for a long time now... I have a few pretty decent song lyrics I would like to post... (Note: I've added when solos, etc. would be put in, should I ever get the chance to add music and make a song)

I'll be posting them (the ones I've already written), and then I'll be posting them as I write them...

First up (my favorite so far):

Not the One (You're Looking For) (something of a break-up ballad)

Verse 1
I never found words to say just how I feel
The only words I used were the ones that I could steal
So don't look at me anymore
I'm not the one you're looking for

Verse 2
Now and then I found myself in a trance
Thinking about the good times, and our romance
But reality set in, and showed its ugly head
And now I think about my loneliness instead
So don't look at me anymore
I'm not the one you're looking for

Guitar Solo (along the lines of the one heard in the Skid Row song "I Remember You"

Verse 3
We've shared the months together, but it was all in vain
For me to think I could be with you, I must have been insane
And now those times are over, they're never coming back
You'll never be reminded of all the things I lack
So please, don't look at me anymore
I'm not the one you're looking for

There is no chorus, because I thought a catchy chorus would detract from the emotion of the song, so I just repeated a certain line in the verses...

Feedback is what it's all about, so feel free to leave some...

Round 2 of Bat Dude's Lyrics...

This one is much more up-beat and "fun"...

Teenage Hormones (a basic, sleazy, hair metal anthem)

Verse 1
I can look but I can never touch
And you know that it hurts me so much
I've got a feeling, of lust for you
I'd love to see exactly what you can do

Verse 2
Hot as hell, cold as ice
To get with you I wouldn't have to think twice
You've got a stare that can penetrate hearts
I'd do the same to you with very different body parts

Pre-Chorus
Your body's kickin' like a martial arts master
And if you take me I won't put up a fight
Let's do it before it becomes a disaster
I wanna take you home tonight

Chorus
Teenage Hormones
You make 'em run wild
Their takin' over and they don't like it mild
I want it hot, and I want it now
Walk in the room and I just have to say "Wow"

Guitar Solo

Pre-Chorus
Your body's kickin' like a martial arts master
And if you take me I won't put up a fight
Let's do it before it becomes a disaster
I wanna take you home tonight

Chorus
Teenage Hormones
You make 'em run wild
Their takin' over and they don't like it mild
I want it hot, and I want it now
Walk in the room and I just have to say "Wow"
Teenage Hormones

Again, feedback is what it's all about, so leave some if you wish...

Thanks!

I might add a 4th verse if something comes to me... Until then, here's Round 3 of Bat Dude's Song Lyrics...

Keep It Alive (an inspirational, "dust yourself off and get back in the race" kind of song)

Verse 1
The people you work with
Don't like you no more
They say that it's different
Being your friend is a chore
But that never stopped you before

Verse 2
You go to the movies
Not far from here
Your girlfriend just dumped you
You shed a tear
But that ain't no reason to fear

Chorus
Because you gotta keep it alive
When you're outnumbered
Keep it alive
When you get cornered
Keep it alive
You know it gets better
You'll get those for which you strive
If you keep it alive

Verse 3
You're job ain't that friendly
You don't make a dime
You try to do better
And get past this crime
But you know you'll have your time

Chorus
If you keep it alive
When you're outnumbered
Keep it alive
When you get cornered
Keep it alive
You know it gets better
You'll get those for which you strive
If you keep it alive

Guitar Solo

Chorus
You gotta keep it alive
When you're outnumbered
Keep it alive
When you get cornered
Keep it alive
You know it gets better
You'll get those for which you strive
If you keep it alive

Chorus
Keep it alive
When you're outnumbered
Keep it alive
When you've been cornered
Keep it alive
You know it's getting better
You get those for which you strive
When you keep it alive

(Note: The thing it's telling you to "keep alive" is your dreams of a better life)

Amazing. I wanna hear the 2nd one being played though

Wow dude.

These are rock solid. Good stuff.

Thanks everyone!

Round 4 of Bat Dude's Song Lyrics is here...

This one is my weakest, imo... I tried to get a little more aggressive this time around, something of a mixture between Megadeth and Ratt, and I don't think it worked... Anyway, here's:

Hard to Kill (based on 1930s gangster Jack Diamond. He was always able to evade death somehow, until he got arrogant, which is prominently depicted in these lyrics)

Verse 1
Everybody tries to put me down
They try to make me drown
And everybody has a reason to kill me
They've got the art of murder down to a tee

Pre-Chorus
There will never be an end for me
Why can't you see?

Chorus
That I'm...
Hard to Kill
I always was...
Hard to Kill
I'll always be...
Hard to Kill
Hard to Kill
Hard to Kill
Yeah

Verse 2
And I know the end will never be near
I'm always gonna be here
You may work and try to end what I've done
But I have already won

Pre-Chorus
There will never be an end for me
Why can't you see?

Chorus
That I'm...
Hard to Kill
I always was...
Hard to Kill
I'll always be...
Hard to Kill
Hard to Kill
Hard to Kill
All right

Guitar Solo

Pre-Chorus
There will never be an end for me
I know that you'll never see
There's no excuse for you to have to ask "how?"
Cuz you should know by now...

Chorus
That I'm...
Hard to Kill
I always was...
Hard to Kill
I'll always be...
Hard to Kill
Hard to Kill
Hard to Kill

Chorus
I'm...
Hard to Kill
I always was...
Hard to Kill
I'll always be...
Hard to Kill
Hard to Kill
Hard to Kill
Yeah

Here's Round 5 of Bat Dude's Song Lyrics... This one I just kinda came up with in class one day while I was thinking about Jack Nicholson's line from the 1989 movie "Batman"...

Hot Time in the Old Town (a good time party rock song somewhat reminiscent of Poison)

Verse 1
Turn on the radio, and crank it up
There's a girl for every guy and booze in every cup
It's getting louder as more people walk in
To have this kind of fun must be a sin

Chorus
'Cause it's a hot time in the old town tonight
The party just started and there ain't no end in sight
It's a hot time in the old town tonight
Come on over and you're sure to feel all right

Verse 2
You're feeling good until the neighbors come by
They want the party shut down
Too bad for them 'cause we ain't gonna comply
We're having fun and we don't care if they frown

Chorus
'Cause it's a hot time in the old town tonight
The party just started and there ain't no end in sight
It's a hot time in the old town tonight
Come on over and you're sure to feel all right

Guitar Solo

Verse 3
Now the party's almost done
And the people are gone
You know it was fun
But how will you explain the lawn?

Chorus
It was a hot time in the old town tonight
The party kept going until the morning light
It was a hot time in the old town tonight
All the neighbors watching must have thought it was a sight
It was a hot time in the old town tonight

Round 6 of Bat Dude's Song Lyrics...

Grand Revolution (a protest song: I took heavy influence from John Lennon and Yoko Ono for this one)

Verse 1
The dead multiply by ten
In this day and age
Put down your sword, pick up your pen
It could set the stage
For a grand revolution
Of peace and harmony
Where everyone is equal
And everyone is free

Verse 2
We can't let the government
Take away our voice
Our opinions matter
We still have a choice
To believe in what we want to
And speak of how we feel
No one can tell you different
Your rights are very real

Chorus
Work towards a revolution
Where the people can live without fear
Work towards the end of corruption
The end of its reign is near

Verse 3
The news is full of people
Every day and every night
Who say we shouldn't be angry
And we shouldn't put up a fight
But once the truth gets out
The public will finally see
How wrong these people are
And then they'll be set free

Chorus
Work towards a revolution
Where the people can live without fear
Work towards the end of corruption
The end of its reign is near

Round 7 of Bat Dude's Song Lyrics...

Madman Symphony (a straight up extreme metal song)

Long Ass Intro

Verse 1
Carnage is rising
Chaos will reign
People are dying
Now they feel no pain

Verse 2
The death toll gets higher
There's blood on his hands
Burning in the fire
Are the people in the stands

Verse 3
He bids his farewell
And leaves for the night
As far as you can tell
No other survivors in sight

Verse 4
The killing spree is over
And there's no more death
So kiss you four-leaf clover
You'll breathe another breath

Guitar Solo

(Any feedback on the last few is welcome)

Ok, here's a revision of my first one...

Not the One (You're Looking For)

Verse 1
I never found words to say just how I feel
The only words I used were the ones that I could steal
So don't look at me anymore
I'm not the one you're looking for

Verse 2
Now and then I found myself in a trance
Thinking about the good times, and our romance
But reality set in, and showed its ugly head
And now I think about my loneliness instead
So don't look at me anymore
I'm not the one you're looking for

Verse 3
I cared so much about what you thought
And tried to give you all you sought
Held you tight when things were rough
But in my mind, it would never be enough
So don't look at me anymore
I'm not the one you're looking for

Guitar Solo ("I Remember You", anyone?)

Verse 4
We've shared the months together, but it was all in vain
For me to think I could be with you, I must have been insane
And now those times are over, they're never coming back
You'll never be reminded of all the things I lack
So please, don't look at me anymore
I'm not the one you're looking for

I basically added another verse in-between the Guitar Solo and the 2nd Verse... (Feedback would be great)

I should have some new lyrics up soon... So just so you guys know, I'm stilling actively writing (there just hasn't been much inspiration as of late)

Ok, here's the moment you've been waiting for.... *drum roll*

Round 8 of Bat Dude's Song Lyrics...

Again, I tried to get aggressive and more "metal" like, but I think it just resulted in one of my weak ones... Maybe I'm just cut out for writing hair metal and ballads... Anyway, here's:

Sheep (a song about the propaganda and lies in the United States)

Verse 1
You make it seem like they do no wrong
It's clear you haven't been told
You'll be wiser by the end of this song
You can prevent your soul from being sold

Chorus
Your a...
(Sheep, Sheep)
That's what you are
(Sheep, Sheep)
Don't go too far
(Sheep, Sheep)
The shepherd's almost here
To take you back to the things you most fear

Verse 2
"Don't give in to that silly superstition"
That's what they probably told you
You're the one who has to make that decision
Don't let them tell you what to do

Chorus
Your a...
(Sheep, Sheep)
That's what you are
(Sheep, Sheep)
Don't go too far
(Sheep, Sheep)
The shepherd's almost here
To take you back to the things you most fear

Guitar Solo

Verse 3
"Well, now you're finally making some sense"
That's what your probably thinking
Congratulations! You're a little bit wiser
Just like you were told

Chorus
Your still a...
(Sheep, Sheep)
That's what you are
(Sheep, Sheep)
You won't get far
(Sheep, Sheep)
The shepherd's closing in
"Did you actually think you could win?"

Chorus
(Sheep, Sheep)
That's what you'll stay
(Sheep, Sheep)
Unless you break away
(Sheep, Sheep)
The power's yours
Just look inside and you can break down the doors
(Sheep, Sheep)

FEEDBACK IS APPRECIATED (on all, not just this one)

P.S. I should note that "Madman Symphony" was written to be played to the beat of the church song "City of God"...

Round 9 of Bat Dude's song lyrics!

Good Kind of Lovin' (a basic hair metal song, not very good but not bad either)

Verse 1
They say you're evil, they say you're bad
They say you can't do a good deed
But their conclusions are pretty sad
'Cause I know that all you need
Is the...

Chorus
Good kind of lovin'
Come over here and I will show you the kind
Good kind of lovin'
Take my hand, you won't fall behind
Good kind of lovin'
A contract with happiness is what you've signed
Good kind of lovin'
It's 100% guaranteed to ease your mind

Verse 2
They say you're cruel, and act real shady
Detention is where they make you spend your time
But all I see is a pretty little lady
And last I checked beauty ain't no crime
All you need is the...

Chorus
Good kind of lovin'
Come over here and I will show you the kind
Good kind of lovin'
Take my hand, you won't fall behind
Good kind of lovin'
A contract with happiness is what you've signed
Good kind of lovin'
It's 100% guaranteed to ease your mind

Guitar Solo

Verse 3
When they say these things it don't bother me
I shrug it right off, I pay no heed
'Cause I know on the weekends your schedule's free
And I know that the only thing you need
Is the...

Chorus
Good kind of lovin'
Come over here and I will show you the kind
Good kind of lovin'
Take my hand, you won't fall behind
Good kind of lovin'
A contract with happiness is what you've signed
Good kind of lovin'
It's 100% guaranteed to...

Chorus
Good kind of lovin'
Come over here and I will show you the kind
Good kind of lovin'
Take my hand, you won't fall behind
Good kind of lovin'
A contract with happiness is what you've signed
Good kind of lovin'
It's 100% guaranteed to ease your mind

Round 10 of Bat Dude's Song Lyrics!

Perfect Girl (There just so happens to be a girl that I really like, and this song kind of reflects that)

Verse 1
I try to be cool whenever she's around
But when she walks by I get thrown to the ground
Every other guy tries to bring her their way
It seems I can't get the time of day (no no)

Pre-Chorus
If I can get my foot in the door
I can promise she'll be begging for more

Chorus
She's the perfect girl, she's the cream of the crop
She makes my heart race and it just won't stop
The competitions fierce, but I have to try
I can show her who I am, that I'm past being shy

Verse 2
I try to speak but get shoved to the side
It seems I'm just here for the ride
But I know that if I play my cards right
She'll be with me at the end of the night

Pre-Chorus
If I can get my foot in the door
I can promise she'll be begging for more

Chorus
She's the perfect girl, she's the cream of the crop
She makes my heart race and it just won't stop
The competitions fierce, but I have to try
I can show her who I am, that I'm past being shy

Guitar Solo

Verse 3
Time is short but I still have a shot
9 weeks isn't much but it's all that I've got
The shallow competition should learn this lesson
The girl they're after is not a possession

Pre-Chorus
If I can get my foot in the door
I can promise she'll be begging for more

Chorus
She's the perfect girl, she's the cream of the crop
She makes my heart race and it just won't stop
The competitions fierce, but I have to try
I can show her who I am, that I'm past being shy

Chorus
She's the perfect girl, she's the cream of the crop
She makes my heart race and it doesn't wanna stop
The competitions fierce, but I'm gonna try
I will show her who I am, that I'm past being shy

Round 11 of Bat Dude's Song Lyrics!

Don't Wait (a power ballad about how you shouldn't wait to tell that certain girl how you feel) (I just realized that my lyrics are moving slowly from having hedonistic fun to falling in love...)

Verse 1
The girl of your dreams just walked in the door
If she was with you, you'd never ignore
You should tell her, 'cause she oughta know
That you'll hold her in your arms and never let go

Chorus
Don't wait too long
'Cause she might not be there by the end of this song
Girls like her are very hard to find
Girls like her, they're one of a kind

Verse 2
She just took a seat, right next to you
Come on! Sit up straight! What're you gonna do?
Look inside yourself, and tell her how you feel
Tell her all your dreams that one day could be real, if you...

Chorus
Don't wait too long
'Cause she might not be there by the end of this song
Girls like her are very hard to find
Girls like her, they're one of a kind

Guitar Solo (similar to the one in "Miss Mystery" by Black N Blue)

Verse 3
You get your words straight, you get your words down
But suddenly your smile turns into a frown
Another guy's whispering into her ear
This has always been your worst fear
But you hear a smack, and she doesn't look happy
Whatever he said must have made her feel crappy
She picks up her books and runs out the door
Quick! This is your chance! You may not see her anymore!

Chorus
Don't wait too long
'Cause she might not be there by the end of this song
Girls like her are very hard to find
Girls like her, they're one of a kind

Round 12 of Bat Dude's Song Lyrics!

Choke (a song about choking during the big game/test/conversation w/ girl)

Verse 1
You're a big football star
Lots of endorsements and a fancy car
Everyone thinks you're the one to beat
Good in the season, but you couldn't repeat
Your team ended up losing the big one
When you...

Chorus
Choke, Choke
Now you wish you would croak
Choke, Choke
You end up alone and broke
When you choke

Verse 2
A pretty girl is walking by
You're gonna talk to her, you're gonna give it a try
But you get real nervous and look away
She walks right past you, she don't have to stay
You lost your chance and she's never coming back
When you...

Chorus
Choke, Choke
Now you wish you would croak
Choke, Choke
You end up alone and broke
When you choke

Guitar Solo

Verse 3
You're at home and you're all alone
You turn on the TV and the news is shown
About a football star on your old team
With a familiar looking wife, this MUST be a dream
Now you have to live your life in envy
Because he didn't...

Chorus
Choke, Choke
Now you wish you would croak
Choke, Choke
You end up alone and broke
When you...

Chorus
Choke, Choke
You're gonna wish you would croak
Choke, Choke
You end up alone and broke
So don't choke

I'm Back!

Round 14 of Bat Dude's Song Lyrics!

Me vs. the Universe (I don't really know how to describe this song, tbh)

Verse 1
I get dirty looks everywhere I go
As if I'm one of the bad guys
They look away, trying not to show
But I know they can't disguise
The hatred that's in their eyes

Chorus
Me versus the universe
Will I ever break this curse?
Of me versus the universe
I know it'll only end up worse

Verse 2
They stop my advance, it's very abrupt
I know this can't be good
Then they proceed to beat me up
"Like every good neighbor should"
What happened to brotherhood? (It's dead)

Chorus
Me versus the universe
Will I ever break this curse?
Of me versus the universe
I know it'll only end up worse

Guitar Solo

Verse 3
I've learned to live with the people around me
I know I can't please everyone
As long as I've got what my old grandpa gave me
I know it's helped me a ton
They're not so tough when you've got a gun

Chorus
Me versus the universe
Will I ever break this curse?
Of me versus the universe
I know it'll only end up worse

Whew, it's been a while, but I'm back and better than ever!

I have my finals this week, so with school pretty much over (I'll be a sophomore soon!), so is my steady stream of inspiration

But I've got a few new lyrics that I came up with as my last batch before summer vacation is officially calling my name...

Round 15 of Bat Dude's Song Lyircs!

Twisted Little Game (a song concerning the power elite that obviously control the modern world)

Intro (in normal speaking voice)
You think they don't own you?
They own everything...
The money, the government, the military...
And they can control it all, because you don't know what to do...

Verse 1
The money, the arms, the governments
All in their hand
They tell you false info, and all kinds of lies
To see how much you can stand
You're angry, you're shouting, you're starting an uproar
Then they send the army to your door
There's no way to win, if you play by their rules

Chorus
Let the truth be heard
Speak it everywhere you go
Tell the people what to look for
And ask them what they know
About the power elite and their twisted little game
You think the parties are different, but they're all the same

Verse 2
The money, the arms, the governments
They use like a whip
To keep you down, and under control
And feed their power trip
You're working, you're fighting to get your freedom back
Then they discredit you as if you were on crack
There's no to win, if you play by their rules

Chorus
Let the truth be heard
Speak it everywhere you go
Tell the people what to look for
And ask them what they know
About the power elite and their twisted little game
You think the parties are different, but they're all the same

Guitar Solo (something like Shotgun Messiah's song Heartbreak Blvd)

Chorus
Let the truth be heard
Speak it everywhere you go
Tell the people what to look for
And ask them what they know
About the power elite and their twisted little game
You think the parties are different, but they're all the same

As per usual, any feedback is welcome...

This one was kinda somber, but I promise my next one is gonna be hysterical! (Hint: it has something to do with modern bands)

Round 16 of Bat Dude's Song Lyrics!

Poser Rock (a comedic hard rock song condemning emo and pop punk bands)

Verse 1
Rock bands shouldn't have "disco" in their name
Romance with chemical substances is to blame
I'll "make damn sure" I crush their albums with a truck
They make me "Fall Out" of my chair, because they all suck

Chorus
I'm gonna go to the store and tear all their posters down
If I see another emo kid wearing a frown
I'm gonna smash all the albums that they have in space
I'll do it, too! 'Cause I hate poser rock

Verse 2
They aim for cuteness but look like shit
How can any of their songs turn into a hit?
These boys like girls, or so they say
With the way they look, I'm surprised their not gay!

Chorus
I'm gonna go to the store and tear all their posters down
If I see another emo kid wearing a frown
I'm gonna smash all the albums that they have in space
I'll do it, too! 'Cause I hate poser rock

Guitar Solo

Verse 3
When you say hello, I say goodbye
Your shitty ass music makes everyone cry
You may be popular and get lots of exposure
But that don't make a difference, 'cause to me, you're still a poser

Chorus
I'm gonna go to the store and tear all their posters down
If I see another emo kid wearing a frown
I'm gonna smash all the albums that they have in space
I'll do it, too! 'Cause I hate poser rock

Bands Made Fun of in this song:
Fall Out Boy
Panic at the Disco
My Chemical Romance
Taking Back Sunday
Boys Like Girls
Cute is What We Aim For
Hellogoodbye

As always, feedback would be greatly appreciated...

Round 17 of Bat Dude's Song Lyrics!

We Won't Change (a tongue-in-cheek song about how immature the male gender can be)

Verse 1
Back in the day, 1886
Guys used to get real drunk and fight to get their kicks
Fast forward many years and you think we've come real far
That's not the case, one drew a penis on your car

Chorus
When will we ever learn?
To stop being immature
I don't think we ever will

Verse 2
Back in the 80s, "kick me" signs were kool
They were seen in every show and inside every school
You don't see them anymore, so you must be real proud
'Cept now we laugh when we hear "homo" screamed real loud

Chorus
When will we ever learn?
To stop being immature
I don't think we ever will

Guitar Solo (similar to the one in Motley Crue's song "Primal Scream"

Chorus
When will we ever learn?
To stop being immature
I don't think we ever will
We'll always be the same
Thinking life is just a game

Poser Rock (a comedic hard rock song condemning emo and pop punk bands)

Verse 1
Rock bands shouldn't have "disco" in their name
Romance with chemical substances is to blame
I'll "make damn sure" I crush their albums with a truck
They make me "Fall Out" of my chair, because they all suck

Chorus
I'm gonna go to the store and tear all their posters down
If I see another emo kid wearing a frown
I'm gonna smash all the albums that they have in stock
I'll do it, too! 'Cause I hate poser rock

Verse 2
They aim for cuteness but look like shit
How can any of their songs turn into a hit?
These boys like girls, or so they say
With the way they look, I'm surprised their not gay!

Chorus
I'm gonna go to the store and tear all their posters down
If I see another emo kid wearing a frown
I'm gonna smash all the albums that they have in stock
I'll do it, too! 'Cause I hate poser rock

Guitar Solo

Verse 3
When you say hello, I say goodbye
Your shitty ass music makes everyone cry
You may be popular and get lots of exposure
But that don't make a difference, 'cause to me, you're still a poser

Chorus
I'm gonna go to the store and tear all their posters down
If I see another emo kid wearing a frown
I'm gonna smash all the albums that they have in stock
I'll do it, too! 'Cause I hate poser rock

Bands Made Fun of in this song:
Fall Out Boy
Panic at the Disco
My Chemical Romance
Taking Back Sunday
Boys Like Girls
Cute is What We Aim For
Hellogoodbye

As always, feedback would be greatly appreciated...

Wow, just noticed I typed "space" instead of "stock"

I fixed the lyrics in the quote above...

Round 18 of Bat Dude's Song Lyrics!

Without You (a song about a break up, but it's not sappy, it's more angry and antagonistic) (I just kinda threw it together)

Verse 1
It's not the time or place to tell me
But you know that I see
The way you look at other guys
I can see... You can't disguise
The way you talk to other dudes
They made an offer you couldn't refuse

Chorus
But that's alright, that's ok
I didn't need you anyway
I'm just fine, you know it's true
I'm finding a way without you

Verse 2
And once you finally decide to say
That you want to go a separate way
I won't find it a very big shock
'Cause I caught you suckin' on another guy's...

Chorus
But that's alright, that's ok
I didn't need you anyway
I'm just fine, you know it's true
I'm finding a way without you

Guitar Solo (fairly long and pretty technical for a "pop metal" song)

Chorus
But that's alright, that's ok
I didn't need you anyway
I'm just fine, you know it's true
I'm finding a way without you

Chorus
But that's alright, that's ok
I don't need you anyway
I'm just fine, you know it's true
I'm finding a way without you

Round 19 of Bat Dude's Song Lyrics!

The Fallen (this song is a tribute to all those that died in combat during World War II. It's got country music influence, but I'd say it also has some hard rock in it)

Verse 1
I'll tell ya 'bout a guy, his name was Jack
He was patriotic, and signed up for the attack
He became a soldier for the government
To the coast of Normandy was where he was sent

Pre-Chorus
And he didn't come back
From the attack
Poor ol' Jack

Verse 2
Now I'll tell ya 'bout another guy, his name was Dan
He was eager to fight, and win against Japan
He swore he'd be a hero, he swore it every day
Then he got his chance to prove it at Midway

Pre-Chorus
He never gained fame
Everyone forgot his name
It's such a shame

Chorus
They're the fallen, of World War II
They're the fallen, and they knew what to do
They're the fallen, fighting beside their crew
They're the fallen, and they died for me and you

Guitar Solo

Verse 3
Now I think I've told you all I know
The trip ends here, that's the end of the show
But every time you see a flag in the air
You'll think of them, and you'll say a prayer

Chorus
They're the fallen, of World War II
They're the fallen, and they knew what to do
They're the fallen, fighting beside their crew
They're the fallen, and they died for me and you

This one is much more up-beat and "fun"...

Teenage Hormones (a basic, sleazy, hair metal anthem)

Verse 1
I can look but I can never touch
And you know that it hurts me so much
I've got a feeling, of lust for you
I'd love to see exactly what you can do

Verse 2
Hot as hell, cold as ice
To get with you I wouldn't have to think twice
You've got a stare that can penetrate hearts
I'd do the same to you with very different body parts

Pre-Chorus
Your body's kickin' like a martial arts master
And if you take me I won't put up a fight
Let's do it before it becomes a disaster
I wanna take you home tonight

Chorus
Teenage Hormones
You make 'em run wild
Their takin' over and they don't like it mild
I want it hot, and I want it now
Walk in the room and I just have to say "Wow"

Guitar Solo

Pre-Chorus
Your body's kickin' like a martial arts master
And if you take me I won't put up a fight
Let's do it before it becomes a disaster
I wanna take you home tonight

Chorus
Teenage Hormones
You make 'em run wild
Their takin' over and they don't like it mild
I want it hot, and I want it now
Walk in the room and I just have to say "Wow"
Teenage Hormones

Again, feedback is what it's all about, so leave some if you wish...

Kool, thanks...

You have any other feedback you want to give? Perhaps on my newer stuff (particularly "Poser Rock", which is my comedy rock song)

do you have a band together yet?

You shouldn't always try to make lines rhyme, it sounds a bit forced.

Back in the day, 1886
Guys used to get real drunk and fight to get their kicks
Fast forward many years and you think we've come real far
That's not the case, one drew a penis on your car
Like this, the last line doesn't fit too well.

I thought it fit. I guess that's why their my opinions.

Man, you should just get garage band for your computer and buy a guitar, if you dont already have one. You need to be creating music as much as you do lyrics. The music will inspire lyrics. You are a good songwriter, keep at it man, because screamo is dogshit and everyone knows it except screamo's. you da man. You want to bring back a little soul to the rock and roll scene...,Rock on partner, rock on.

Thanks!

But isn't Garage Band only for Macs? I have a PC, so...

No inspiration as of yet... But stay tuned to this thread, you never know when I could have a new set of lyrics...

These aren't lyrics, but they're pretty kool poems I wrote this week (school, of course, gave me inspiration for no apparent reason)

"Comatose"

Unable to move, the light is no more
Can't feel my body, what more is in store?
For me as I lie here, detached from the rest
My heart barely beating from inside my chest
Gravity seems doubled, I'm kept in my place
And bandages cover my emotionless face
I don't know if it's forever, or a temporary curse
But at least I'm still breathing, it could have been worse

"Ignorance"

Dumb in body, dumb in mind
Dumb in evil, dumb in kind
Break the chains of ignorance that bind
Maybe then you won't be so blind

"Evil"

Evil young, evil old
Evil does just as it's told

"History"

Look back on what has come before
Even if you find it a chore
Learn from the mistakes of the old ways
And lead our world into brighter days

"The Girl"

I hear your name, though it is not said
Think of you when I go to bed
I dream of a day when I'll cross that line
With shyness gone, I'll make you mine
But until that force is found in me
All I can do is think of thee
I promise I'll find the words to say
So you don't drift farther away
Because when you're laughing and having fun
Your beauty shines just like the sun

"Wanderer" (this one is pretty damn awesome)

Now here's a story I know will not bore
About a wanderer, who walked into my store
He looked around, his face could depress
Until it lit up when he picked out a dress
"It's for my wife", he said with a grin
So I rang up the dress, a dab of blood on his chin
"Why so dressed up?" I asked him at once
"We're going somewhere important", he said without fuss
On his suit was a name tag, "Josh Daniels" it said
In the paper that morning, I read he was dead
He and his wife had died in a car crash
While driving downtown for a big birthday bash
When I looked behind me, to pick up the paper
Mr. Daniels was gone, he left with the reaper

Of course, feedback is the name of the game...

I've been away for a LONG time, but I can finally present to you:

The EPIC Round 20 of Bat Dude's Song Lyrics!!! *Falls on the floor panting*

Cookie-Cutter Universe (A song about how cookie-cutter fads control the way teenagers think) (This, imo, is my worst thus far. I don't know, it just doesn't seem to flow too well, but I'll let you be the judge of that)

Verse 1
There's not much diversity at my school
Within these walls there's an unspoken rule
You either listen to 50, or you listen to Panic!
One day soon, those fads will sink like Titanic

Chorus
We're in a cookie-cutter universe
Loss of creativity and only gonna get worse
We're in a cookie-cutter universe
The fads control us but we can break the curse

Verse 2
Go a little further and it branches into flicks
Two types of movies control these dudes and chicks
Horror films being remade all the time
And the amount of parodies should really be a crime

Chorus
We're in a cookie-cutter universe
Loss of creativity and only gonna get worse
We're in a cookie-cutter universe
The fads control us but we can break the curse

Verse 3
That's not all, they've invaded TV
Reality shows are all we can see
They're always there, on every station
As if they can't come up with a new creation

Chorus
We're in a cookie-cutter universe
Loss of creativity and only gonna get worse
We're in a cookie-cutter universe
The fads control us but we can break the curse

Verse 4
I believe I have told you all I know
So I'll provide a direction from which to go
Bring back diversity in our movies and shows
And in music, talk about women, and not about "hos"

Pumpkin.
