HEIDI:
So you found a place where the grass is greener
And you jumped the fence to the other side
Is it good?
Are they giving you a world I could never provide?

Well I hope you're proud of your big decision
Yeah, I hope it's all that you want and more
Now you're free from the agonizing life you were living before

And you say what you need to say
So that you get to walk away
It would kill you to have to stay trapped
When you've got something new
Well I'm sorry you had it rough
And I'm sorry I'm not enough
Thank God they rescued you

So you got what you always wanted
So you got your dream come true
Good for you
Good for you, you , you
Got a taste of a life so perfect
So you did what you had to do
Good for you
Good for you

ALANA: (spoken) Why did Connor kill himself?

EVAN: (spoken) Wait what?

ALANA: (spoken)
He was doing better
That's what he told you in every single email
and then a month later he kills himself?
How does that make sense?

EVAN: (spoken)
Why are you so obsessed with this?
You didn't even know him

ALANA: (spoken) Because it's important!

EVAN: (spoken)
Because he was your lab partner?
Or because, I don't know
Maybe because you want to add another extracurricular for your college application

ALANA: (spoken)
Because I know what it's like to feel invisible, just like Connor!
To feel invisible and alone and like nobody would even notice if you vanished into thin air
I bet you used to know what that felt like, too!

EVAN: (spoken)
We need more emails
Emails showing that he was getting worse
This isn't funny!

JARED: (spoken) Oh I think it's hilarious!
I think everyone would probably think it's hilarious

EVAN: (spoken) What is that supposed to mean?

JARED: (spoken) It means you should remember who your friends are

EVAN: (spoken) I thought the only reason you even talk to me is because of your car insurance?

JARED: (spoken) So?

EVAN: (spoken) So? Maybe the only reason you talk to me,
Jared, is because you don't have any other friends!

JARED: (spoken) I could tell everyone everything!

EVAN: (spoken) Great! Go ahead, do it!
Tell everyone how you helped write emails pretending to be a kid who killed himself.

JARED: (spoken) Fuck you, Evan! Asshole

ALANA:
Does it cross your mind to be slightly sorry?
Do you even care that you might be wrong?
Was it fun?
Well I hope you had a blast while you dragged me along

JARED:
And you say what you need to say
And you play who you need to play
And if somebody's in your way
Crush them and leave them behind

JARED & ALANA:
Well, I guess if I'm not of use
Go ahead you can cut me loose
Go ahead now
I won't mind

HEIDI:
I'll shut my mouth and I'll let you go
Is that good for you?
Would that be good for you you you?

HEIDI & ALANA:
I'll just sit back while you run the show
Is that good for you?
Would that be good for you you you?

HEIDI, ALANA & JARED:
I'll shut my mouth and I'll let you go
Is that good for you?
Would that be good for you you you?
I'll just sit back while you run the show
Is that good for you?
Good for you

EVAN
All I need is some time to think
But the boat is about to sink
Can't erase what I wrote in ink
Tell me how could you change the story?
All the words that I can't take back
Like a train coming off the track
Cause the rails and my bones all crack
I've got to find a way to
Stop it, stop it! Just let me off!

ALANA, JARED, & HEIDI
So you got what you always wanted
So you got your dream come true
Good for you
Good for you, you , you
Got a taste of a life so perfect
Now you say that you're someone new
Good for you
Good for you
Good for you
Good for you

So you got what you always wanted

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
