Solid Jackson (Companion Version)

She says she's read too many fashion magazines She's forgotten what real love is like As the basement collects more kids off the street They smoke themselves to death waiting for the band to begin They've been tuning up there for an hour now Don't think I can stand another minute more Just then the first chord strums, and the drums set in And I know what I have been waiting around for 'Cause no one's going home until the morning comes No one's going to sleep until the sun comes up Did you hear those first two songs? They were fucking tuff And the band's not going to stop until the cops show up So hold your applause until the end And wait for the sadness to set in 'Cause that's the only feeling that's worth it He says he's done with the pop music scene There's too many opinions and so few are worth a shit He's got to learn to act a little more mean 'Cause the mean ones always end up with the record deals But it's only when I'm angry that I feel complete When we're screaming at each other is when I'm most happy I hang out with my friends, and then I get depressed I drink myself to sleep with any strength that's left And I quit going to church a year ago And my teachers think that my faith is gone But I can do without the Eucharist 'cause I found God In a Solid Jackson song
