Oh Sweet Catastrophe

After watching two hours of Adventure Time, we start considering what songs to play. "We cant play Black Veil Brides," Talon says. "That would be too predictable." I nod, "Right, they are going to be hosting, so that is what most of the competition will be doing." I see Karma writing down on a piece of paper, "What are you doing Karms?" "Just writing down song ideas...FINISHED!" she exclaims. She throws the paper at us, Darren catching it. He starts reading them off, "Motley Crue, Crown the Empire, My Chemical Romance, Falling in Reverse, Sleeping with Sirens, Pierce the Veil and Fit for Rivals? Good list Karma." "Why thank you Darren." she says. "Yeah, but do we know how to play songs by these bands? I mean, if we dont, what is the point?" i explain. "But Cat, you know every song by these bands by heart. You can sing them easily. Plus, you can pick up any song! I have seen it!" Talon says. I shrug, "I can sing them, but i'm not sure if i can play them." "Stop being so humble!" Karma yells at me. "Here, play Holiday!" She grabs her cherry Gibson and plops it on my lap. I strum the first few chords of the song, getting into it, i start singing too. "Hear the sound of the falling rain Coming down like an Armageddon flame The shame, the ones who died without a name Hear the dogs howling out of key To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" And bleed, the company who lost the war today I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives On Holiday Hear the drum pounding out of time Another protester has crossed the line To find the money's on the other side Can I get another Amen? There's a flag wrapped around a score of men A gag, a plastic bag on a monument I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives On holiday The representative from California has the floor Zieg Heil to the president gasman Bombs away is your punishment Pulverize the Eiffel towers Who criticize your government Bang, bang goes the broken glass Kill all the fags that don't agree Trials by fire, setting fire Is not a way that's meant for me Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws, yeah I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives This is our lives on holiday!" I lose myself in the music, not caring that my friends are around me and the window was open. I sang as loud as my fucking lungs would allow. When i am done, they all look at me with pleasure. "Told you bitch," Karma grins. "But I've played it before." I oppose. She rolls her eyes, "Fine, but we need to think of songs people!" We all sit in a little circle around Karma's laptop. She looks up songs as we say if we know them or not. In the end, we decide on King for a Day, If You Cant Hang, Johnny Ringo, Teenagers, I'm Not A Vampire and Reason. We think it is the perfect list.
