Let's Party With the Wicked

The first big party of the year Right after the pre-season game A bunch of juniors and seniors take off Driving around down the highway. Pulling up to the designated house Where the parents aren't at home They don't know about the party Their "honor student" has thrown. Music is blasting from speakers all around As people shove away couches to dance Furniture's broken, but nobody cares The party's a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Things start to heat up As guys bring in kegs of beer Even freshmen took a drink, thinking, "Total freedom; there are no parents here!" Pretty soon, every thing's trashed, And the people leave to go home Late at night, right after that party, People pull out onto the road. Pandemonium wreaks havoc Twenty minutes after they leave As all across the small town, Cars begin to weave. Cars crash like dominoes In a simultaneous effect Parents are in a panic Wondering where their children have been left. Bodies are splayed out all over the road As metal tears and glass breaks All of this, because of one little party And because some students chose to drink. Their best friends are in body bags And their parents are engulfed in grief And all because of that one party And that stupid choice to drink. Honor students now lay dead Choir members in bags Band players are gone forever The other stories are just as bad. Alcohol checks are administered And even young ones are to blame "It's not my fault, I was drugged!" One sophmore dares to claim. "It was just a little alcohol," they say, As it rages through their system "I didn't mean to kill anybody, But now, I wish I were with them." The nickname for this awful crash And this tragic night Truly lives up to its name: "The Wicked has take flight." Drinking and driving don't mix And these students learned the hard way It was just a little fun, But their friends won't be back Monday. Some say it wasn't their fault And that everbody did it, But really, everyone's to blame For thinking, "Let's party with the Wicked."
