MP3's and MTV

MP3's and MTV

A Poem by Dennis Shanaberg
"

A grunge song (remember the 90's)

"

Just another day

But she’s got somethin’ to say

He says, “Back in the kitchen b***h”

She says, “I’m so sick of...had enough of this.”

A car pulls away.

But still he will stay

With his face in the mirror

And the TV speakers blaring a new MTV premiere.


He said last year he’d be a new man.

A clean special man with a perfect plan.

He said this year the same thing again.

He looked back once and said look where I’ve been.


Nowhere, nowhere.  I’ve been nowhere now.

Nowhere, nowhere.  I am nowhere now.


It’s the same old day.

With more f****n’ s**t I’ve got pay.

My dad said, “Life can be a b***h.”

I said, “I’m so sick, so sick of, sick of this s**t.”

I think I’ll be okay

Even with the skies so grey

With just another cheap old beer

And my mp3 speakers blasting songs into my ears.


I said last year I’d be a new man.

A smart successful man with this plan.

I said this year the same thing again.

I looked back once more and said look where I’ve been.


Nowhere, nowhere.  I’ve been nowhere now.

Nowhere, nowhere.  I am nowhere now.


Calendar on repeat-

Red x’s cover the squares.

Clocks ticking offbeat-

In it’s face I stare.

Calendar on repeat-

Red x’s cover the squares.

Clocks ticking offbeat-

In it’s face I stare.


I said last year I’d be a new man.

A smart successful man with this plan.

I said this year the same thing again.

I looked back once more and said look where I’ve been.


Nowhere, nowhere.  I’ve been nowhere now.

Nowhere, nowhere.  I am nowhere now.

And by this time next year, we'll be here again.

Author's Note

Dennis Shanaberg
If you didn't read that up top; this song is written in kind of like a 90's grunge style. Thus the lyrics are not full of the usual similies, metaphors, and other such things I might usually include. Let me know what ya think.
