The Lost Generation
Ryan killed an old woman on Halloween,
Poor Ronny was run over by an SUV.
Jeremy yelled racist terms to impress Stacey in history class,
The only result of that was being harassed.
Ed, Ivan, and Teddy shot people with bb guns,
They claimed to be having “fun.”
Emily learned that her true love was just like the rest,
The “crew” made fun of Jews at summer camp,
And had sex contests.
They were kicked out, all just a bunch of pests.
Roberto who craved food from Caffe Buon found his solution,
He decided to introduce Pam to all the workers – creating prostitution.
Teddy drank away the summer nights with AJ,
Running into an old man who said he wanted to play.
Teddy planned to shoot Brent Baucher, his bully at school,
But being the bigger person, he kept his cool.
Jack-O and Teddy crashed his grandpa’s old DeVille,
Just to feel that thrill.
Alex and Chris enjoyed smoking weed,
They hiked with dad in Yosemite - fun times indeed.
These kids were just a lost generation,
Getting into things; which caused temptation.
