Cut and Paste Poetry

Trying something new here. I always listen to my music on random shuffle. So, here what i’ve done is taken lyrics from each song that randomly played, and formed a poem out of them. Here are the songs:

Smashing Pumpkins “Bullet with Butterfly Wings”, Guns n Roses “Since I don’t have you”, Ozzy Osbourne “Mr. Crowley”, Tom Petty “American Girl, Sum 41 “Thanks for Nothing”, Everclear “Thrift Store Chair”

the world is a vampire, sent to drain
secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
and what do I get, for my pain
betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
I don’t have plans and schemes,
And I don’t have hopes and dreams.
I don’t have anything,
Since I don’t have you.
Your lifestyle to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
You waited on Satan’s door
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it’s so painful
Something that’s so close
And still so far out of reach
Don’t blame us, who do we trust when they’re so dishonest
No patience, this nation’s obsessed with exploitation
Lying, denying surrounds me
You can have your way again
Yeah, you believe what you wanna believe
You can walk all over me tomorrow
But tonight can we both just pretend to sleep
