Starting today me and a friend of mine have decided to start living the straight edge lifestyle. For those who don' know, "straight edge" is not smoking, drinking or using recreational drugs. The reason we have decided to go this way is because of our dissatisfaction with the mindset of people here at EHS. There is definitely no shortage of people saying "get high, get high" and after doing so, we realized that its pathetic. People doing whatever it takes to get ahold of booze or drugs for the weekend is just sad. Sickening really. If they could take a step back and look at themselves and listen to what they are saying, they might think different. But the attitude we're noticing is people just do the things they do just to either gain acceptance or for some cheap thrill. Its just stupid.
"I'm a person just like you
But I've got better things to do
Than sit around and fuck my head
Hang out with the living dead
Snort white shit up my nose
Pass out at the shows
I don't even think about speed
That's something I just don't need
I've got the straight edge
I'm a person just like you
But I've got better things to do
Than sit around and smoke dope'
Cause I know I can cope
Laugh at the thought of eating ludes
Laugh at the thought of sniffing glue
Always gonna keep in touch
Never want to use a crutch
I've got the straight edge"
