nonfiction parody 

a parody that is based on an actual event and is true

it has been raining in Georgia for a week and a half and it flooded. Some woman 2 houses up from me drowned in the flooded creek. trees have fallen down, and my house has 6 different leaks. I wrote this nonfiction parody off of The Middle by Jimmy Eat World.

Hey, don't let yourself drown yet

It's only in your house you’re gonna drown

And trees fall down

Just swim your best, swim away if you can

And don't you worry that that lady drowned

When you're okay.

It just takes a raft, the woman in the middle of the creek (swimming and drowning)

Everything, everything will be just wet (wetter and wetter)

Everything, everything it'll be a mess (a mess)

Hey, you know they've all just drowned

You know you're doing better in a raft (build an arc)

So don't go out.

Swim right now

Yeah, just save yourself.

It doesn't matter if it's dry enough

For someone else

It just takes a raft, the woman in the middle of the creek (swimming and drowning)

Everything, everything will be just wet (wetter and wetter)

Everything, everything it'll be a mess (a mess)

It just takes a raft, the woman in the middle of the creek (swimming and drowning)

Everything, everything will be just wet (wetter and wetter)

Everything, everything it'll be a mess (a mess)

Hey, don't let yourself drown yet

It's only in your house you’re gonna drown

And trees fall down
Just swim your best, swim away if you can

And don't you worry bout’ the flooded hoods, unless they’re yours

the actual lyrics to this portion of the song are:

Hey, don't write yourself off yet

It's only in your head you feel left out

Or looked down on

Just try your best, try everything you can

And don't you worry what they tell themselves

When you're away.

It just takes some time, little girl in the middle of the ride

(over, and over)

Everything, everything will be just fine (over, and over)

Everything, everything it'll be alright (alright)

Hey, you know they're all the same

You know you're doing better on your own (on your own)

So don't buy in.

Live right now

Yeah, just be yourself.

It doesn't matter if it's good enough

For someone else

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the

ride (over, and over)

Everthing, everything it'll be just fine (over, and over)

Everything, everything it'll be alright (alright)

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the

ride (over, and over)

Everything, everything it'll be just fine (over, and over)

Everything, everything it'll be alright (alright)

Hey, don't write yourself off yet

It's only in your head you feel left out

Or looked down on

Just do your best, do everything you can.

And don't you worry what the bitter hearts, are gonna say
