Bell Ringer
This was your homework last time:

Find the lyrics to a song you love! Beware that not all lyric sights will work on the school's network! Find one that does, print it, or copy and paste it onto a document. Don't get just any song; songs that just talk about watching some girl's booty on the dance floor will be tough to analyze for a deeper meaning! Look for a song that speaks to you. It should have some important theme about life!
