Clapping Because The Internet Lyrics

Dude 1 kicks open the door. He starts firing. Dude 2 falls. A mist of red puff spurts from his chest. He's screaming

Dude 1 turns to the boy and shoots

Only to find out the gun is out of ammunition

The Boy grabs the gun from Dude 2 dead body

Slides it over to Dude 1 along with the drugs

The Boy: Take it

The Boy (CONT'D) That's what you came here for, right?

Dude 1: Why?

The Boy: [BLANK FACE EMOJI]

Dude 1: Why let me get away?

Dude 1 (CONT'D) You could of ended my life let alone save yours

The Boy: What good would that of done?

Thinking back to the club days before where he witnessed a strangers death
The Boy (CONT'D) One's life is only so valuable, has to end sometime. Death is inevitable

Dude 1: Don't you at least wish to know why?

The Boy: Why what?

Dude 1: Why we're doing this to you

The Boy thinking back to everything he has been through the past couple days. Partying, death, lost loved ones, new acquaintances, Roscoe's Wetsuit

The Boy: Some things are better left unknown

Dude 1 turns to the boy and sho

BANG BANG

The Boy wakes up to a mysterious girl banging at his window. (Clapping for the Wrong Reason beginning)

THE END
