Auld Lang Syne

Post by Cornfield »

And we sang Old Lang Syne
And we kissed at midnight
And we swore the New Year would be better than
The one we left behind

Yesterday is gone
Tomorrow is on the horizon
May all memories be sweet 
And pains never brought to mind

Nick Soma - Auld Lang Syne

All the people in the other room
Singing Auld Lang Syne
And I took three hits from the bong
But I can't get high
I find I'm falling fast
And the only parachute
Waits on the kitchen table in the form
Of a bottle of Absolut

Check - insulted my wife
When she asked me if I was OK
Check - told the guests
I'd rather have them all go away
Check - I met my personal quota
Of being unpolite
All systems go
Now I'm gonna drink away the night

And I think of my brother who died four years ago
Wonder if he'd approve of these zombies' show
It's no fun to die of cancer
But I think there is a chance he might
Be happy, wherever he is
'Cause he don't have to live through this

All the neighbors getting on my nerves
Lighting fireworks
I'd like to ring their doorbell
Tell 'em they're all jerks
I want to ruin everybody's party so hard
To smash their precious idyll and then
Leave them with the shards

And if Mom and Dad are watching from a heaven
They didn't believe in
(I'm not getting sentimental, I've done
My fair share of grievin')
Then maybe they could understand
And maybe take me to their land
Since I am really super pissed
And I don't want to live through this

And if I'm still alive next year
I'll start the day with a can of beer
And then ring up my old friends
Shooting heroin all night
And you can all go kiss my ass
And it's 'Sorry, I have to pass'
In that case there's a slight chance
New Year's Eve might feel alright

If my brother was here, he'd care about my needs
We'd sit in his room
Drinking hard liquor and smoking weed
Well, it's no fun to die of cancer
But if I could, there is a chance I'd
Trade this phony life for his
So I don't have to live through this

Auld Lang Syne
by WreckdoM

You killed a lot of people I admire
You killed people who helped save the world
You made a circus of our governing system
And now I'm questioning just who we really are
And I don't like you
I will never forget you
I will never forgive you
You will always be with me

Our hatred grew at home as our apathy abroad
We mistook a buffoon for a rough and tumble god
Now the South is declaring that they won that war
While on YouTube you see cops executing the poor
And I don't like you
I will never forget you
I will never forgive you
You will always be with me
You will haunt me
