Question:

What do you think of my existentialist take on punk fiction?

Surrender

They slash their wrists before the video screen. Cameras loom over them. The sheer glow of the monitor beams lightning bolts into their eyes. Stardom hypnotizes the self-righteous. I think of stars and I think of welfare applicants who stand in line for a number. Everybody needs their butter and bread. What is the difference?

Their lyrics speak of blood and poetry. I don??t think lyrics and poetry form the same idea anymore. One tells a story, the other turns the story into a high art. I am starting to hate the separation of high art and low art. This is why both Franz Marc and graffiti art appeal to me. A painting class is coming up. I should sign up for something else. Boredom is my problem. I just dropped out of an urban jazz class.

Such classes appeal to Britney Spears fans, who also seem to enjoy platinum blonde weaves and fake silicone boobs. Silicone belongs in a computer chip, not in the human body. Whatever happened to natural?

I suppose there isn??t much natural about Amy Lee??s makeup but at least it is her own image and not a caricature of someone else??s. Johnny Rotten hated Sid Vicious because he felt they were modeling punk instead of living the life.

She mouths off about melancholy. Now the press refers to Evanescence as a gothic rock band. I didn??t know the genre was still alive. To me, that idea is liking kicking a dead horse.


Her attempt at punk song lyrics follows:

You slash your wrist then raise your fist
Without any emotion
Tainted poetry in motion
As you mouth off about melancholy
For the sake of more money
Mark off your latest goal
The five-year plan
Or so I??ve been told

I don??t want to surrender
I don??t want to surrender
I don??t want to surrender
I don??t want to surrender

Here??s your Johnny B. Good routine
Couldn??t play the guitar like Chuck Berry
Those girls with the lips and legs
Just like marvelous Maybelline
Now they spread themselves over cars
In ball gowns at home shows
Not exactly Gabriel with a Rose
They used to burn up some tar with their fire

I don??t want to surrender
I don??t want to surrender
I don??t want to surrender
I don??t want to surrender

Video is dead so your butter and bread
That??s on a reality tv show
Janice Dickinson killed the video star
In an all-out rock??n??roll war
Kicking a dead horse is pointless but fun
Why start when you haven??t begun
Gone are the days of dancing
Gone is all the romancing

I don??t want to surrender
