The Bad Side of the World

[intro]

[instrumental]

[verse]
This is the bad side of the world
Where you never can grow old
When you cannot pull your weight
You are left out in the cold

You learn to fear the stick
For a moment hesitate
You will feel a nice sharp kick
and they'll take away your plate

You better keep on moving quick
and you can't ever get sick
Can't miss a day and not show up
If you  do, your time is up

your time is up

[chorus]
You need to make your masters happy
They want service, make it snappy
You need to do it with a smile
And keep their toilets clean
You only have one purpose
To service the machine

[instrumental]

[verse]


[chorus]
You need to make your masters happy
They want service, make it snappy
You need to do it with a smile
And keep their toilets clean
You only have one purpose
To service the machine

[2:15][instrumental]

[verse]
This is the bad side of the world
The streets ain't lined with gold
The pavement's always wet
And you always feel the cold

You can't afford to pay the rent
In one day your money's spent
You beg for food and one more hit
Just one more until you quit

The police are on their way
They plan to take you all away
They'll want to lock you up
If you run, your time is up

your time is up

[chorus]
You need to make your masters happy
They want service, make it snappy
You need to do it with a smile
And keep their toilets clean
You only have one purpose
To service the machine

[outro]

Arrangement:
Kick off with raw, fuzz-laden guitars and heavily distorted power chords, backed by dynamic, punchy drums and a gritty, driving bassline. Verse sections lean louder with strong clear, spoken-style vocals and minimalist instrumentation, exploding to full, aggressive intensity in the chorus. End with a noisy outro, layers of feedback and loose, unpolished playing.

[instrumental]

[verse]
In the halls I hear laughing
and everybody looks at me
they look away when I come by
and don't care what I see

Girls want me to feel bad
They say that I am weird
And that maybe I should go
Why did we ever move here?

I did not wanna move

I was fine at my old school
No one ever looked at me
I had a place where I could hide
And at least they let me be

at least they let me be

[chorus]
I am headed for my school
I hate every damn day
This time I'll fix it all
They all are gonna pay

[instrumental]

[verse]
I hate every one
And my dad has got a gun
I know where it is hidden
and I won't care when I am done

I looked it up on the dark web
Talked to people on a chat
I know how to use it
I know the safety where it's at

[verse]
I found a guy who has the ammo
He shipped it straight to me
I ordered fifty rounds
and they weigh about three pounds
The gun weighs two pounds more
It all fits in my pack
And I'm gonna pay them back

I think it'll be enough

I think it'll be enough

[chorus]
I am headed for my school
I hate every damn day
This time I'll fix it all
They all are gonna pay

I am headed for my school
I hate every damn day
This time I'll fix it all
They all are gonna pay

They all are gonna pay

They all are gonna pay

[instrumental]

The Devil Made Me - Esme Rose 🥀

Takin' my time
Just for a second
I need a moment
I'm just not sure
Am I goin' in the right direction?
Don't know anymore
Just tryna explore
What else is out there
But I know I care about you
So I'll be waitin' for you
And that's why I keep
Goin' back
Goin' back
It's the reason I keep
Goin' back
Goin' back
Goin' back to you

Where do I go from here?
Which way should I go
