my IQ just shrunk a point

so, I don't listen to commercial radio. However, while running an errand today after 9am (and no NPR after 9:03 AM), I left my iPod at home. Within 2 songs I was reminded why corporate radio is an anathema to creative music.

Luckily the trip began with Weezer's Sweater Song. But, song #2 was by Staind (never trust a band that cannot spell). The lyrics make Jon Bon Jovi (the father of crap rock) look like Dylan.

I sit alone and watch the clock,
Trying to collect my thoughts,
All I think about is you.
And so I cry myself to sleep,
And hope the devil I don't meet.
In the dreams that I live through.

Believe in me, and though you've waited for so long,
Believe in me, sometimes the weak become the strong,
Believe in me, this life's not always what it seems,
Believe in me, cause I was made for chasing dreams.

All the smiles you've had to fake,
And all the s**t you've had to take.
Just to lead us here again.
I never have the things to say,
To make it all just go away,
To make it all just disappear.

Believe in me, and though you've waited for so long,
Believe in me, sometimes the weak become the strong,
Believe in me, this life's not always what it seems,
Believe in me, cause i was made for chasing dreams.

It's my life,
It's my choice,
Hear my words,
Hear my voice,
And just believe.

I sit alone and watch the clock,
Trying to collect my thoughts,
And all i think about is you.

If you believe in me, life's not always what it seems
Believe in me, cause i was made for chasing dreams.

Believe in me, and though you've waited for so long,
Believe in me, sometimes the weak become the strong,
Believe in me, this life's not always what it seems,
Believe in me, cause i was made for chasing dreams.

hear the monstrosity here. Dude, when is the Nickleback, Staind tour coming to town?
