03-06 | The Palm Harbor Hoax: When Teen Drama Meets Satanic Panic

+ Show full styles

V5.5

[Verse 1]
Danielle was eighteen, 
playing leader of the pack,
Dressed up in heavy eyeliner 
and Hot Topic black.
She manipulated the kids 
to form a midnight crew,
With no dark theology,
just a petty thing to do!
They lured poor Nicholas and Jeremy 
out into the night,
Brought knives and a hammer 
to a senseless, brutal fight!

[Chorus]
(Explosive, whiny pop-punk harmony)
Oh, it’s a Satanic Panic 
in the suburban sprawl!
Summoning the darkness 
at the local shopping mall!
You planned a double murder, 
put a target on their backs,
Over a twenty-dollar bill 
and a stolen Xbox!
Yeah, you thought you were a demon, 
but you're just a massive fraud,
Traded life in prison 
for a missing power cord!

[Verse 2]
(Palm-muted, chugging guitars)
Now they brought a wooden stake, 
like a B-movie prop,
But the cleanup was so sloppy
that it had to be a flop!
No ancient manifesto, 
no compound in the trees,
Just a teenage felony 
with scrapped-together pleas.
The news said it was magic, 
but the motive was so weak,
Just terrible communication 
and a revenge-fueled streak!

[Guitar Solo](Frantic, fast-paced pop-punk guitar solo with heavy cymbals)

[Bridge]
(Tempo slows down, heavy bassline, dramatic)
If it bleeds, it leads 
the evening news,
They ignore the truth 
just to get the views.
There's no Illuminati, 
no shadows in the street,
Just American youth 
with their impulse control beat.
Life behind bars,
the ultimate cost,
For a gaming console 
that's functionally lost!

[Chorus]
(Maximum energy, full band crash)
Oh, it’s a Satanic Panic
in the suburban sprawl!
Summoning the darkness 
at the local shopping mall!
You planned a double murder, 
put a target on their backs,
Over a twenty-dollar bill 
and a stolen Xbox!

[Outro]
(A cappella with a single drum beat)
No, you weren't hunting vampires in the Florida night...
You just couldn't handle losing a stupid little fight.
(Sound of a retro 8-bit video game "Game Over" tune) 
(Feedback rings out and fades)
[End]

[Intro] (Sound of an Xbox 360 disc tray opening, followed by heavy, fast distorted power chords) Welcome down to Palm Harbor, in the Florida sun, Where the media is screaming 'bout what the teenagers have done! They put it on the broadcast, a "Devil Worshipping Cult", But if you look at the evidence, you get a different result! [Verse 1] Danielle was eighteen, playing leader of the pack, Dressed up in heavy eyeliner and Hot Topic black. She manipulated the kids to form a midnight crew, With no dark theology, just a petty thing to do! They lured poor Nicholas and Jeremy out into the night, Brought knives and a hammer to a senseless, brutal fight!
