This is the music video for "Throw It Out."
I wrote this song in response to the increased public awareness of bullying in schools. It's something I endured, and I hope every adult strives to eliminate this from our children's lives.
This song and my album, ALMOST 2000, can be purchased for download: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/aries6https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/almost-2000/id991122561http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X0Y14BM/ref= dm_ws_sp_ps_dp

Lyrics:
They call us names
Make us games
We feel shame
Like we're to blame
They call us weak,
Loser, freak
Every week
The words they speak
When I see you crying
Know inside you're dying
Know how hard you're trying
Just to get by
CHORUS:
Throw it all out the door
We don't need any more
Of this stupid, pointless war
They can yell, they can shout
Why do we care about any of it
Throw it out
The pain inside
Is miles wide
All our pride
We're forced to hide
Against the wall
Made to crawl
Will we fall
Or take it all
When I see you crying
Know inside you're dying
Know how hard you're trying
Trying to survive
CHORUS
When I see you
Know you're dying
Know you're trying
Just to stay alive
Throw it all out the door
Pointless war
Why do we care about
Throw it out
CHORUS
