Rockstars(revised)

We partied like rockstars!
Wide eyed teens
in grown up bodies
smoking our inspiration
drinking away our sorrows
and snorting away our dreams

But see sorrows are fish
they quickly evolved to alcohol
attempting to drown them
only gives them room to multiply

Attention Young Bucks:
I’m not impressed by your stories

We partied like rockstars
stayed up till sunrise
tripping through life
spiting our minds in cyphers
slamming our bodies in mosh pits

We grew up way too fast
our sins were overpriced
they put us in debt bondage
friends wonder the streets
ghosts of their younger selves
half dead to the world
paying the price for our sins

our mangled messiahs
mumbling to the wind

We partied like rockstars
crashed parties like sports cars
life in the fast lane
riding in stolen whips
with the pedal to the floor

oh shit
there's 5-0
act cool
and keep it low

We felt invincible
the music sang to our souls
we were young and naive
trying to clear our fears
with bong hits
thick as the milky way
we toked till we choked
and saw the stars
what a sight for city kids

We partied like rockstars
our gigs were in the dungeon
a band of gypsies
our laughter was our music
people came from all around
to jam with us

We partied like rockstars
with gang bangers, hippies, and metal heads
with ravers, hiphoppas, and honor roll students
with cases, kegs and fifths
with bongs, blunts and joints
with love in our hearts
and fire in our souls

We made waste of racial, cultural, and socioeconomic boundaries
if only for moments at a time
We partied like rockstars!
