Here I'll start a Linkin Park song

I'm so tired of being picked on
Everyone is draggin me down
I can't take this persecution
Why are they treating me like a clown?

Took 15 seconds.

Da Thrilla

Pretty good.

Consider you signed!


I like Linkin Park but you're right...it's all the same.

Fielding Mellish

The world lines up to treat me cold…
I’m just a number, bought and sold…
But I won’t stay and be controlled…
I’ve got an old pair of Van’s I need re-soled.


Hey! This is pretty fun! Thanks, cungar.

Here's a test:

I cannot take this anymore
I'm saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance

Real or made up Linkin Park lyric?

Obey The D

Real. At least pick one of their lesser known songs.

I'm so sad i'm so mad
I was signed before I sang I am a sad panda
Panda's in heat are neat they beat there meat
like I did before I was signed
then I payed MTV for some air play
some 15 year olds who where mad
that there dad
didn't buy them the marshall mathers lp
bought me instead
My tie was bought by avril
she was at the mall with me

chours

I was going to be a backstreed boy
but aj beat me to it
so I got in a temper and said screw it
I will start a band in development buy the man

My eyes are green I have to be seen
this is tearing me away my heart is in a state of decay



Damn can't think of anything else will post if I dooze

beefjerky

SHUT UP, MOM!!!
NO I DON'T WANT ANY DINNER!!!
I'M GOING UP TO MY ROOM!!!
I'M GOING TO LISTEN TO MY LINKIN PARK CDS!!!
NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ME!!!

Hollowgen

one day i was so mad
i was about to do something bad
i was rotting real bad in side
you see
just the shell of a guy
who once wore a hat

i feel bound to eternal pain
no one listens anyway
confine me to my prison of agony
just let me be, for no one understands my dilemmas and hurting and sad and angry and sad and angry and sad someone save me or i'll go crazy

Deftones

I feel pretty....oh so pretty.....

Rival11

too funny, I hate this band so much but hey................the kids love it so that's all that matters right?

woofman

[ Insert angst ridden verse]
[more angst]
[more angst with curse word!]
[final power granting angst all kids can agree on]

[insert token rap section]

[insert angst ridden chorus]

[insert angst ridden DJ scratchin]

repeat

But hey, like Rival11 said, its all for the kids? So if this keeps them from angsting out in real life I'm all for it. Teenage angst can be brutal. Go mallcore!

God knows one could laugh at some of my music, whoa nelly!

iggystar

No obscure bands to promote today? Sad.

Cusm

I can not differentiate this band from several of the other new rock bands out there, but don't you need to [insert boy band ballad section] then go right back into the chorus? Or is another one of the shit new rock bands that is the pissed-off boy band?

King Jaspo

[Melody w/Power chord rythm]
I'm in the corner, my life in ruins
falling apart and licking my wounds
I hate my world and everyone in it
at the edge, I am staring into a pit

[rap bridge]
<chk chk cha> somebody push me, over the edge
<chk chk cha> somebody push me, coz I can't jump

[chorus]
It's a long way down, to salvation
help me get to salvation
salvation

[Bubble Beep Synth Hook]

Applejack

fumanstan

That sounds about right

gmal2003

Id rather do a song by one of the favorites amongst the "look at me Im cool cuz I like obscure bands" Music Talk posters.

Sigur Ros
(weird non descript string instrument that sounds like woahhonh)
(pots being hit with pencils)
(obscure crash)
(more weird noises that sound like urnnorrr)

Youre right it is easier doing Linkin Park songs. After all, onomatopoeia's can be difficult especially coming from some bands.

PrivateJoker

OK, I think this kinda fits here...

Rockin' The Suburbs
Ben Folds


Let me tell y'all what it's like
Being male, middle-class and white
It's a b*tch, if you don't believe
Listen up to my new CD
(Sha-mon)

I got sh*t runnin' throught my brain
It's so intense that I can't explain
All alone in my white-boy pain
Shake your booty while the band complains

I'm rockin' the suburbs
Just like Michael Jackson did
I'm rockin' the suburbs
Except that he was talented
I'm rockin' the suburbs
I take the cheques and face the facts
That some producer with computers fixes all my sh*tty tracks

I'm p*ssed off but I'm too polite
When people break in the McDonald's line
Mom and Dad you made me so uptight
I'm gonna cuss on the mic tonight

I don't know how much I can take
Girl, give me something I can break

I'm rockin' the suburbs
Just like Quiet Riot did
I'm rockin' the suburbs
Except that they were talented
I'm rockin' the suburbs
I take the cheques and face the facts
That some producer with computers fixes all my sh*tty tracks

In a haze these days
I pull up to the stop light
I can feel that something's not right
I can feel that someone's blasting me with hate
And bass
Sendin' dirty vibes my way
'Cause my great great great great Grandad
Made someones' great great great great Grandaddies slaves
It wasn't my idea
It wasn't my idea
Never was my idea

I just drove to the store
For some Preparation-H

Y'all don't know what it's like
Being male, middle-class and white
Y'all don't know what it's like
Being male, middle-class and white
Y'all don't know what it's like
Being male, middle-class and white
Y'all don't know what it's like
Being male, middle class and white

It gets me real p*ssed off, it makes me wanna say
It gets me real p*ssed off and it makes me wanna say
It gets me real p*ssed off and it makes me wanna say
*****!

Just like Jon Bon Jovi did
I'm rockin' the suburbs
Except that he was talented
I'm rockin' the suburbs
I take the cheques and face the facts
That some producer with computers fixes all my sh*tty tracks

These days
Yeah yeah
I'm rockin' the suburbs
Yeah yeah
I'm rockin' the suburbs
Yeah yeah

You'd better look out, because I'm gonna say '*****'
You'd better look out, because I'm gonna say '*****'
You'd better look out, because I'm gonna say '*****'
You'd better look out, because I'm gonna say '*****'

I think you are being a bit hard on Linkin Park. While their lyrics may not be varied in subject matter, how many bands truly are?

Most artists write about something they feel passionate about and then stick to what they know. How many pop artist sing about love? How many hip-hop artists sing about their fortune? etc.

So while Linkin Park tends to emphasise melodrama in their lyrics, there is more to their music than just the words by one band member. While the lyrics may not be that original they could be worse and the music is wuite original. LP is one of the more creative of the "nu-metal" style, for example: they incorporated a japanese flute in one of their songs.

It isn't worth writing off an artist for bad lyrics. There are many artists I enjoy that have "bad" lyrics: quarashi, NERD, (newer) red hot chili peppers, beastie boys, rob dougan, etc..

I think it is worth trying to keep an open mind about Linkin Park, if you listen to the albums as a whole rather than just the radio songs you might find out you like them like me.

TripWire

hehe, Rob D..
that was random enough.
yeah he should of stuck to instrumentals.

Tommy_Harn

Live in a house at the end of the street
Sweat pouring from the toes on my feet
Another night, I know she ai'nt comin' home
I'm watchin' the Spurs play in the Alamo Dome

(harder)
She's with him, just like all the other days
I chalked it up to just a temporary phaze
But now I'm sick of her runnin' around
Yet, I just can't get rid of that lingering sound

(Harder)
Tickin' in my head, can't stop the pulse
Knowing the love, between her and I is false
Its growing faster, at a feverous pace
A ticking time bomb in the middle of my face

(Harder!)
All these years, always watching over this girl
I was the oyster, she was my pearl
How could she do me, how could she do me like this?
So much rage going through my fists . . .

I yell
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I scream AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
A . . A . . . A . . . A, A, A, A, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Yeah, it's hard to relate to their lyrics unless you are in high school.

das Monkey

Daddy bought me a new SUV.
I'm angry it's only the 2003.
Been 6 whole months since my new PC.
Life's so hard; woe is me.

RAAAAWRR!!!!

I like LP but they ooze more angst than the entire catalogue of WB shows - past, present, and future.

iggystar

It's hard for me to relate to the childishness of this thread.
