Today, I poured my heart out into what had to be my greatest set of lyrics for my band ever, at the same time my teacher was explaining chemical changes to the class. At the end of the lecture he picked up my paper, and set it on fire to demonstrate a chemical change. FML

I am a teacher. Even if a student is not paying attention in class, I would never take their piece of paper away and set it on fire. Tell them to put it away, yes. Confiscate it for the rest of the period, yes. But destroying something of a student's is completely disrespectful. Some might argue that it's disrespectful to do other work during class, and I'd agree. However, the teacher shouldn't have taken that harsh of a measure to discipline him. Being a teacher doesn't give you license to be a bitch.

And then I'd wonder when the teacher got a sex change.

Yeah, just right click your pencil eraser and select "Recover Lost Document" from the drop-down menu. /I SO wish you could do that

Just assume that they sucked anyway. They probably did if they were written by someone in Chemistry class. I'm not saying young people can't write music, but few can write it very well. Otherwise, you could probably rewrite them and like THAT end product better anyways.

#63 You've clearly never heard Taylor Swift.

Taylor swift sucks, harden the **** up and listen to some heavy metal.

Taylor swift sucks, listen to something like metal or blues or jazz, you know, something that requires talent

Do NOT agree with lame-o's that think country (ie Taylor Swift) is turrible. "...You should've said no, You should've gone home, You should have thought twice before you let it all go..." "...I wear this crown of thorns Upon my liar's chair Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair Beneath the stains of time The feelings disappear You are someone else I am still right here..." -Country is immortal

Please tell me you didn't just put taylor swift lyrics in the same post that has lyrics of THE JOHNNY CASH! You don't deserve to call yourself a country fan after that.

You're right, the combination of Taylor Swift lyrics with lyrics from 'Hurt' seems prettttty strange. But those lyrics aren't even written by Johnny Cash. Most of the songs from that CD are covers. Hurt was actually written by Nine Inch Nails. Also, Taylor's lyrics are alright, but those are not exactly her most impressive, in my opinion.

Why would you want to call yourself a country fan? The instrumental music takes little to no skill (and doesn't even sound very good) and gets away with it by operating under the guise of being "relaxing and soulful". The vocal music is the main focus of country music-a sure sign that the song was written by people without much musical knowledge- and usually has that intolerable southern "drawl" accent... I just see no appeal.

I must agree that most country singers sound the same, just someone with a drawl, and I also do not like Taylor Swift. Lyrically, country is very predictable. Almost all songs will include something about God, many others will include something about typical "country" practices (shooting, drinking, hootin' and hollerin'...) Instrumentally, also fairly predictable, but not on a hateable scale. I mean, it's a genre, and a genre mostly is classified by the instrumentals. Therefore, many rock, blues, metal, jazz, pop, etc music is predictable. Not all, of course, but they do follow some sort of rule. Plus I do enjoy typical instruments used in country... but mostly because I like instruments. Fiddles are great stuff. I can't honestly think of an instrument I truly hate or can't stand to hear. And, I do like Johnny Cash. Generally, I am not for country music though... but I judge case-by-case. Want a great country song? Look up Gin and Juice, the country version. Hilarious as hell. It's possible to write something worthwhile in class/high school though. Unfortunately "heart felt" makes me think things along the lines of typical whiny teen. Sorry OP.

Heavy Metal? I'll stick to my oldies music, thank you.

Yo, everyone, I'm really happy for ya'll and I'ma let ya'll finish, but I agree completely with "Ohnothingreally".

#160, no, I'mma let you finish, but it depends on what oldies you're talking about because not all of them are good. .. And so far you had the best post on this FML of all time. OF ALL TIME!

Hurt is not country. Hurt is Nine Inch Nails. Although Mr. Cash did a great cover of it, I still think Trent has the best version. Saying Hurt is country is like saying My Heart Will Go On is Metal, doesn't matter if Bella Morte did a cover of it or not...

so if taylor swift was 40 years old, that would make her good?...im just trynna understand your thinking. #32, #54 - ****** wonderful

Taylor Swift does not write her own music. She wrote "You Belong to Me" with an established Nashville songwriter named Liz Rose. That's the official story. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Liz Rose wrote the song and Disney decided to tack on Swift as a co-writer. We'll never know how much she contributes to her music and many other songwriters will undoubtedly go uncredited. Disney has decided that Taylor Swift has to project the image of being a singer/songwriter and they will do what it takes to make us believe that image. She'll eventually be exposed as a fraud just like Sarah Palin was.

Actually, Taylor Swift writes A LOT of her own songs. Beyond that, she also designed her entire set for the most recent tour and she directs all the music and makes any necessary changes. She is a young lady with a lot of talent and business sense. She has control over a lot of what she does. She isn't ordered around by her management, which is a LOT better than most people her age. She also writes her songs from personal experience, so I don't see how someone would think she just has someone else write them. She has also co-written at least one song of Kelli Pickler's. People need to brush up on their knowledge before they spew worthless BS.

#136 with the hurt lyrics it was a Nine Inch Nails Song Johnny Cash is the cover Its about heroin johnny cash did drugs not heroin though so its not a country song

lol i totally agree. :) nice comment.

@ everyone saying Hurt isnt country. It is. The johnny Cash version completely is. Nine Inch Nails had it first, but Johnny Cash also sung a country version. Saying that his version isn't country is like saying Cascada's rip off of Rascal Flatts' "What Hurts The Most" isn't pop, but is rather still country THE MORE YOU KNOW

who cares if "hurt" was originally country? johnny cash owns any cover he does. completely.

No one is saying that Cash's version isn't country. Read the original comment. People are just pointing out that the lyrics weren't WRITTEN by a country performer.

#134 "Tungmup" That's not what the VMAs said when Taylor won that award. She does have talent. If she didn't should would've never own up to nothing. Stfu cause I don't see you on TV singing your heart out.

uhm that was his time.. even if he was in class it's his decision to write lyrics instead of pay attention. and you can't tell me you would be intensely focusing on the teacher tell you about something as easy as chemical changes

It's amazing how different the rules are in childhood versus adulthood. In adulthood, if someone beats you up, you call the police and get him thrown in jail. In childhood, he's just "the bully" and nobody in authority cares. You might even get punished for "fighting". In adulthood, if someone takes your stuff it's "stealing", and if they destroy it it's "destruction of property", both of which are punishable by the authorities. In childhood, the authorities are expected to do both of these things to you, and will turn a blind eye if anyone else does. Man, being a kid sucked.

If you're in high school it's not your own time

maybe you should've been paying attention instead of making up a song for your "band"

Why "band"? Do you think here imaginary?

Damn Hey... And Tribute to the best song in the world is taken.

Damn right it's taken. I just await the day when all must hail Rage Kage and Jables, our mighty overlords.

Don't worry, they weren't as great as you thought they were. Had it NOT been kept on fire, you would've read it again 10 years from now and wondered what the hell was wrong with you back in HS. So you're lucky, really.

Would've been good memories though

As a lyricist myself, I've never written a song and not remembered the lyrics right away...

Occam 0

Same here. If I misplace my notebook or something, I remember like 80% of the lyrics and the rest fills itself in from memory. I wrote lyrics to a song last year and lost the notebook to a large puddle shortly afterwards. I was too lazy at the time to rewrite them, and eventually went back to it a week later. I remembered the whole song. Besides, if chemistry class is your muse, then your songs must be a bit weird. At least write them during an English class like I did, it'll expand your poetic horizons. :p

Same here, except when I write them, I usually only remember the gist, and if I try to write it again, it won't always come out the right way again...
