How ba-a-a-ad can I be?
I'm just doing what comes naturally
How ba-a-a-ad can I be?
I'm just following my destiny
How ba-a-a-ad can I be?
I'm just doing what comes naturally
How ba-a-a-ad can I be?
How bad can I possibly be? (Ah!)
[Verse 2]
There's a principle in business (Principle in business)
That everybody knows is sound
It says the people with the money (People with the money)
Make this ever-loving world go 'round
So I'm biggering my company, I'm biggering my factory
I'm biggering my corporate sign!
(Bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger!)
Everybody out there, you take care of yours
And me? I'll take care of
Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine!
(Shake that bottom line!)
[Bridge]
Let me hear you say, "Smogulous smoke"! (Smogulous smoke!)
"Schloppity schlop!" (Schloppity schlop!)
Complain all you want, it's never ever, ever, ever gonna stop (Stop!)
Come on, how bad can I possibly be?
[Chorus]
How ba-a-a-ad can I be?
I'm just building the economy
How ba-a-a-ad can I be?
Just look at me pettin' this puppy!
How ba-a-a-ad can I be?
A portion of proceeds goes to charity
How ba-a-a-ad can I be?
How bad can I possibly be? Let's see
[Post-Chorus]
(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?)
All the customers are buying!
(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?)
And the money's multiplying!
(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?)
And the PR people are lying!
(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?)
And the lawyers are denying!
(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?)
Who cares if a few trees are dying?
(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?)
This is all so gratifying!
[Outro]
How bad
How bad can this possibly be?

Once Upon A Bus Ride
Morgan Hall is your average teenager. That is if you consider having a billionaire CEO of a world renowned company as a dad and a fashion designer of one of the most famous lines in the world as a mother average. Let's not leave out her singer/actress of a sister who's taking the world by storm. Morgan was no doubt born with a giant silver spoon in her mouth, but her life isn't always as perfect as it seems. Aaron Smith, quiet and reserved, admired my many for his good looks. He doesn't seem to associate himself with many people. Which is why it's so strange when he finds himself becoming friends with the rich, little, daddy's girl...at least that's what he thinks of her. Fate and chance are at work when they cross paths one afternoon on a bus. Throw in crazy lives and secret identities, and you get one hell of a ride on the road to self discovery. What Morgan doesn't know is that one stubborn move could land her a new friend, and possibly even more. ~~~~~ "It's amazing...magical even, how hearing one song can take you back to a single moment or a series of them, just so you can live it all over again," he said. "I think that's the best part about music. It's like time travel you know? Going back to the past, or sometimes even visualizing the future...what we could be." "What about the sad moments?" I asked softly. "Nobody wants to re-live those." "Maybe not, but that's the entirety of it," he answered, raising his hand to brush away the hair from my face before tucking it behind my ear. "There's always good in the bad, and bad in the good. Balance." His fingers trailed down my arm, sending shock waves through me. "Can I tell you something?" I asked softly. The corner of his lips curved upwards in a small smile. "You can tell me anything."Complete

Life is too short we need to love to the fullest. in this book you will learn a lot about love and its ups and down how people got bruised and hurt the pain and the scars that love can leave in our hearts. Let us not give up on something that is beautiful though we don't see those who come to us like jackals in sheep skins.

As love is not enough for two people there are so many ingredients to use in building a relationship. sometimes you fall in love with someone's eyes those eyes can be taken away and your love can be gone. Money can be gone everything can be gone except the actual person that you fell in love with nothing that matters. Loving is beautiful, to be loved that makes you shine.Complete
Not Like This (Stucky AU)
Lmao, yes this is another Stucky, so sue me (please don't really sue me, I'm a broke seventeen year old). 'There's a day when all hearts will be broken when a shadow will cast out the light and our eyes cry a million tears help wont arrive There's a day when all courage collapses and our friends turn and leave us behind creatures of darkness will triumph the sun won't rise When we've lost all hope and succumb to fear as the skies rain blood and the end draws near I may fall but not like this-it won't be by your hand I may fall not this place, not today I may fall bring it all -it's not enough to take me down I may fall There's a place where we'll stand outnumbered where the wolves and the soul-less will rise in the time of our final moments every dream dies There's a place where our shields will lay shattered and the fear's all that's left in our hearts strength and our courage have run out we fall apart When we lose our faith and forsake our friends when the moon is gone and we reach our end There's a moment that changes a life when we do something that no one else can and the path that we've taken will lead us one final stand There's a moment we make a decision not to cower and crash to the ground the moment we face our worst demons our courage found When we stand with friends and we won't retreat as we stare down death then the taste is sweet I may fall but not like this -it won't be by your hand I may fall not this place, not today I may fall bring it all -it's not enough to take me down I may fall' - I May Fall by the people of RoosterteethComplete
The Tuneless Song
A girl diagnosed with lung cancer strives survival in a world full of hate, looks and gossips. How will she go on through her daily challenges whilst experiencing the life of a normal American teenager? △ Chosen Excerpt ▼ " Ladies and gentlemen, the sign at the door tells it all. We are here today to discuss the situation of the unspoken. People are aware of what's happening with our earth. But they just proceed with life. No one ever stopped to think. What if all of this reached to an end? What if the future, we prepared hard for our children, was nowhere to be found? What if all of these materialistic manners vanished in seconds? We are challenging a storm. A storm beyond human control. A storm that would be the end of the human race as we know it. You think that life is a cycle? I know some of you would say 'Just because everything is changing, doesn't mean it has never been this way before' but this isn't Narnia we are talking about. This is real life. And in real life bad endings are usualized. Unfortunately, we got no Aslan to help us. We got ourselves. Studies showed that we are less than twelve years away from being unable to undo our mistakes. Either we stop and think about this life, or we proceed with our businesses and fail. Either we stop the temperature from increasing or we watch with eyes full of regret the poles melt eventuallyComplete
