alright . bon jovi is definetely my favorite band, 1,000,000% all the way. alright?
springsteen is also great too !
theyre just in separate categories, not like "best" or something but like "Age" too ! springsteens been around a lil longer , so more people know him. i love "glory days" so shut up .
but bon jovi is alwasys & forever my favorite band. jon is hot. deal with it. so stop comparing them, becuse you cant compare 2 kings of rock ! theyre both amazing , alright ? so shut the friggin hell up & listen to bon jovi or springsteen . whatever the hell you prefer.
im gonna listen to bon jovi . so shut up ! i love youu bon jovi !! 1983-forever !!

I guess that doesn't count because "Once upon a time not so long ago" is spoken. It's only a lyric if it's got a rhyme I guess.

If Bruce SPRINGSTEEN is the Boss, then I quit!
YOU"RE FIRED!!!
dude
With her killer graces and her secret places
That no boy can fill... with her hands on her hips
Oh and that smile on her lips
Because she knows that it kills me
BJ can't come close to BS
dude
In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Out rock that... hair band guy.
