Chemistry

-Ash's pov- 

After solo practices, we all gathered together to get band chemistry. Tucker, when not being Tucker, was teaching himself some awesome riffs. Red was rocking out on bass, and from what I heard, it was really really good. Paul started bashing on drums like a maniac. Clemont, if we ever need him, started working on keyboard and other things. He taught himself how to work a DJ booth, saxophone, and for some reason a triangle. Drew had taught me the ways of rhythm guitar, and I was hyped. I can't wait to rock.

"Alright, let's get started." 

... 

"You son of a b!tch!" 

"Screw you!" 

"At least I can play!" 

"F#ck you!" 

"Let's take this outside!" 

"Guys!" 

"What is it!?" We all were not doing well in the band. Tucker and Red got pissed at each other, Paul and Clemont were also pissed, and then they all got pissed at each other. We need something to unite us. 

"Well?" They all yelled. Now I got it. 

"... That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, and aeroplanes
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid"

Then they started to pitch in.

"... Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs
Don't mis-serve your own needs
Speed it up a notch, speed, grunt, no, strength
The ladder starts to clatter
With a fear of height, down, height
Wire in a fire, represent the seven games
And a government for hire and a combat site
Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry
With the Furies breathing down your neck

... Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at that low plane, fine, then
Uh oh, overflow, population, common group
But it'll do, save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed
Tell me with the Rapture and the reverent in the right, right
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam fight, bright light
Feeling pretty psyched

... It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

... Six o'clock, T.V. hour, don't get caught in foreign tower
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn
Lock him in uniform, book burning, bloodletting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a motive, step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crush, uh oh
This means no fear, cavalier, renegade and steering clear
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline

... It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
I feel fine (I feel fine)

... It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

... The other night I drifted nice continental drift divide
Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jellybean, boom
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam but neck, right, right

... It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

... It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

... It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

... It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)" 

"I think we're good." 

"Yeah, I think so."
