My own Charlie Brown song: They're Sadists

Post Reply New Topic

This is not a satire. I hate sadism so passionately that I'm seriously rewriting the song It Changes by Charlie Brown from the movie Snoopy Come Home.

As I mentioned once, after 25 years of being alone, a time during which I was brutally mugged, I had to hear this melody in a nightmare:



... confirming what feels like lifelong bullying of almost supernatural severity. I am so saddened by the decision of these bullies to go out of their way to hurt me, even knowing that my feelings are just as real as theirs, that I throw up when people are mean to me -- on the streets and on the internet. I'm serious: when I'm shouted at or ridiculed, I literally retch in a vomiting spasm as if I'm throwing up. I never even got to have a girlfriend.

As if that weren't bad enough, about a year after I started throwing up I began to hear voices of the kids who teased me in school. "I hate you," "There's a reason for that," "You have Asperger's Syndrome," and even "What a freak." These remarks are almost always accompanied by namecalling -- including "Charlie Brown," in fact. I wonder, what is the meaning of my life when I am bullied so fiercely? Why is all this happening to me?

In response to the nightmare song and all this seemingly senseless bullying, I now give you They're Sadists, sung to the tune of It Changes:

Just when you thought you were nice to a man
You feel your face in the sand
Then you are hit by a fist where you land
That's when you know you are hated
They're sadists

How can the glad be content with the sad
How can it not make them mad
I don't see how they can be so detached
Sadness shouldn't make you elated
They're sadists

Someone who could simply knock you out
Someone who would make you scream and shout
Crosses a line

Beating you to bruises, blood, and scars
Then you're left hallucinating stars
Maybe for life

Why is romance so malign to the weak
Weak with an eye beaten blue
I never got to go out even once
That is why I never grew
They're sadists

Here's the original song that poor Charlie Brown sings when he loses his dog Snoopy:

I guess I have to lose my mind to nagging voices.
