a waste of time (Lyric) by hendrimike the eight year binge
it is filled with regrets
i went to get educated
all i earned was self pulsated
passing out in my living room
on my sofa
in my bed
drunk in a bathtub
in my kitchen
alone or with friends
on rooftops with a city view
margueritas, beers, and guitars
somebody's house we hardly knew
a thirty pack brought home from the bar
going to shows and to clubs far away
playing pool after hours in bars
on the train
in a car
on the run
it was fun
and it never would have ended
if the money didn't run out
but it always does
and it certainly did
that is the story of a kid
Up the ladder:
Release
Down the ladder:
last night was like the last one

This sounded more like lyrics to me. And anyway, how old are you now.... that you're already contemplating on your life. a waste of time is an apt topic for you theme. I personally feel you should have given it more thought on the presentation. Not enough drunken language in it. Only description of where. Set the scene a bit cause the entire theme is a 'binge'.
Should be longer, either you're a delinquent or you have far too much money for your own good! 8 years? That's a hell of a course!
Doesn't really say much as a whole that couldn't have been said in one verse. Mybe that's the point...hey, it's a mainstream pop song!
hahaha
I agree with what everyone said: you didn't really make a profound statement here. Yet, I still enjoyed this, there are some good lines:
i went to get educated what i got was self pulsated on rooftops with a city view margueritas, beers, and guitars I'm not sure how you could improve this without completely reworking it.
I went to get a Masters
In fact I just got plastered
More of what's already been written, plus my personnal beef against the laziness. If you want an education I would start with punctuation, its very usefuly and makes a reader less likely to feel insulted.
