I C U CLAUZ N SQUALL








GTFI OMF

Saturday, March 24,1984. Shermer High School, Shermer, Illinois, 60062. Dear Mr. Vernon, We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. What we did *was* wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. What do you care? You see us as you want to see us - in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. You see us as a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal. Correct? That's the way we saw each other at 7:00 this morning. We were brainwashed.

Sincerely [yours],
The Breakfast Club

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams-

Lies are a funny thing,
they slip through your fingertips because
they never happened to you.

And these children that you spit on
as they try to change their worlds
are immune to your consultations.
They're quite aware of what
they're going through.
-David Bowie

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams-

Lies are a funny thing,
they slip through your fingertips because
they never happened to you.

I wouldn't settle for nothing
I couldn't settle for that
I'd rather settle for something I don't believe in
than listen to anymore of your chit chat, your chit chat, your chit chat, chit chat

There's no way
that you'll win
Cause I'm here
Starting all over again
Take back your pieces, take back your pawns
Take back your armies, I'll take back my arms
Positions don't matter, you move first
If I move last, somebody's gonna get hurt - get hurt

I wouldn't settle for nothing
I couldn't settle for that
I'd rather settle for something I don't believe in
than listen to anymore of your chit chat, your chit chat, your chit chat, chit chat

Cause there's one thing that's intact
They're my dreams and it's my turn to laugh
Pushed all the buttons
You pressed all the luck
optioned the options
I don't give a
Fortunately, you move quickly
I move too fast
nobody's winning
You know it just can't last - can't last

I wouldn't settle for nothing
I couldn't settle for that
I'd rather settle for something I don't believe in
than listen to anymore of your chit chat, your chit chat, your chit chat, chit chat
