FAT LIP

Stormin through the party like my name is El Nino
When I’m hangin out drinkin in the back of an El Camino
As a kid, was a skid
And no one knew me by name
Trashed my own house party cause nobody came

Well I know I’m not the one you thought you knew back in high school
Never go and never showin up when we had to
Attention that we crave, don’t tell us to behave
I’m sick of always hearin act your age

I don’t wanna waste my time
Become another casualty of society
I’ll never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity
And back down

Because you don’t know us at all
We laugh when old people fall
But what would you expect with a conscience so small
Heavy metal and mullets is how we were raised
Maiden and Priest were the gods that we praised

Cause we like havin fun at other people’s expense
And, cuttin people down is just a minor offense
And, it’s none of your concern, I guess I’ll never learn
I’m sick of bein told to wait my turn

I don’t wanna waste my time
Become another casualty of society
I’ll never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity and back down

Don’t count on me, to let you know when
Don’t count on me, I’ll do it again
Don’t count on me, it’s the point you’re missing
Don’t count on me, cause I’m not listening

Well I’m a no gooddick lower middle class brat
Backpack and I don’t give a shit about nothin
You’ll be standin on the corner talkin all that kufuffin
Well you don’t make since from all that gas you be huffin
Cause if the egg don’t stain you’ll be ringin off the hook
You’re on the hit list, wanted in the telephone book
I like songs with distortion
Drinking in proportion
The doctor said my mom should’ve had an abortion

I don’t wanna waste my time
Become another casualty of society
I’ll never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity
And back down
(Waste my time again) Casualty of society
(Waste my time again) Victim of your conformity
And back down

Stories contain characters changing in different ways.  A majority of the time a character has his/hers personality alter into another personality through events that they have experienced.  In the Metamorphosis Gregor Samsa went through an emotional and physical change.  Besides becoming a bug, some of his desires came true.  Like he was able to sleep late and he doesn’t have to go to his job.  Many other stories relate to the Metamorphosis in which a character changes either physically, emotionally or both.

            One ogre realized, in Shrek, that she was happier and more connected to her husband as an ogre than as a human.  Fiona wanted to be fall in love as fast as possible so she could always be human not an ogre at night.  She thought if making believe to love the prince will help her with her curse.  In the end after spending time with Shrek she realized she was happier with the ogre and in the married him.  Though she fell in love she didn’t break the curse, and even turned into an ogre herself.   Fiona and Shrek lived happily ever after even though Fiona was still a green fairytale creature.

            Stories aren’t the only works of art which contain developing characters.  Songs, too, contain lyrics which show that the character wants some kind of change.  In the Little Mermaid song, Part of Your World, Ariel reveals her desire for legs.  Her longing for legs seemed impossible to get because she had fins. 

            Works of art reveal true wants of people or things, and how they have to transform to receive what they want.  In the metamorphosis Gregor became a bug because he was like a bug as a human, always doing what people say.  It wasn’t until he actually turned into an insect of some sort that some of his wishes came true.
