Am I overreacting?
My son had the following lyrics up on a browser window. He didn't appear bothered by them at all, or when I told him that I found them upsetting.
Now, I understand that adolescents are always supposed to listen to music that pisses their parents off, but I think this is a bit extreme. I also understand that "it's only a song," and all, but...well, read for yourself.
The song is "Kill your parents," by "No Cash":
childhood is like a lock without a key
its the blooming time for brainwash
and explanation of what you see
growing up and burning up inside
do your chores, go to bed
put a bullet through yer head
kill yer parents / burn their bodies
bury the ashes / find out what you want
going mad and maturing all along
yer parents are f**king blind
and their ideals are all wrong
influenced by what your parents always want
you're a model of their youth
you're a trophy they can flaunt
kill yer parents / burn their bodies
bury the ashes / find out what you want
kill yer parents / the voices in yer head
EV-O-LU-TION / freedom lies ahead
now you're sick and dying too
all alone in a black lifeless room
with nothing to do
death, it doesn't seem to phase me
but people crying over dying never seizes* to amaze me
kill yer parents / live as life dies
a burning world / seen through burning eyes
*(Note: I know it should be "ceases" to amaze me, but every site lists it this way. I have to assume the friggin' band can't even spell...)
Great song, eh?
So, do I lock the bedroom door when I go to bed at night?
