Even though "Only the good die young"
A very well known song that's sung
But should it be said
Means less in the head
They wanted death before off the tongue...

Teacher and students 
Sitting slumped in impossibly rigid chairs
Staring at 
Shadows creeping deftly into
Corners never considered
Classes never attended
Vacations never enjoyed 
Wedding bells never rung and the
 Glorious reality that
“Only the good die young.”...

tapping my feet to Uptown Girl
Captain Jack, Say Goodbye to Hollywood
Swinging my partner to Piano Man
Billy Joel, Billy Joel, Billy Joel!

New York State of Mind
Only the Good die young
Good night Saigon
It's still rock and roll to me!
Billy Joel, Billy Joel, Billy Joel!...

The greatest fall of man is to never change! 
The worst mistake I made was to never love again.
Seasons change years go away
Yet my smile stays the same.
How long must I play life's game?
They say the good die young 
I say the good don't suffer.
We all die on earth to give birth to our.......

Dear God Why do only the good die young
So soon before there  life even begins
Is it meant to be or isn’t it?
I don’t understand why it happens I just know it does
But every time it happens I feel desolate 
and I can’t stop crying
So if your there hear my voice 
Answer my question
Why do only the good die young...

One love from a thug
Realizing you’re going to die
Free from persecution
Pick up the gun
Choose your weapon
Go to Las Vegas
Tyson vs Opponent
Tupac’s oblivious face
Despite knowing in his heart he will die young
Children die In California streets
Gun is lord
Gun is power
‘The good die young’
So did he
R.I.P Tupac...

Only the good die young?
That's open for debate.
Do the great take their place?

For Pete's sake,
I've been face to face
with the pearly gates.

That doesn't make me prodigious.
I'm just stating the obvious.
I think it's fate.
I believe it's a planned escape.

When your work has been carried out,
then soon will come,
your time to be carried out.

Sometimes,
the good die young?...

Billy Joel's stories were top notch
Always enjoyed his music very much
He claimed only the good die young
So what have you been up to my old chum?

Grew up with bands like Three Days Grace
With mad Gontier screaming in my face
Bobbed my head to the heavy sound
But the constant rage really brought me down

Now there's kids like Justin Bieber
I claim bubonic, they say it's fever
Not his "music" that makes people stare
It's because of that ridiculous hair!...

Life
fading
cascading 
each breath I take
closer steps I make
into the lonely grave
my eternal haunting cave
punished, being the devil's slave
only the good die young and ascend
so therefore I shall be bad to the end

thinking of the crazy times I have had
painful reflections that leave me sad
too late to contemplate a change
learnt behavior seems so strange
past generations taught
the wisdom I sought
but did not heed
now I need
new breath
death.......
