The POISON Shitty Power Ballad Face-off

Something to Believe In

vs.

Every Rose Has It's Thorn

I only did this because my friend Anna is such a Poison fan, but upon close inspection I gotta say, this isn't even close. First of all, I will say that the melody of the "was it something I said, or something I did, did my words not turn out right" is a really great melody; nothing on the other piece of shit equals it. Furthermore, let's look at the themes: one has a hair metal band singer singing about his chick fucking some other dude while he's on the road fucking other chicks, and the other touches on themes such as Vietnam, the civil rights movement, racism, religious fundamentalism and the homeless. Hmm. Guess which one sounds fucking stupid?

WINNER: Every Rose Has it's Thorn

"I tried all night not to break down and cry/As the tears flowed down my face/I felt so cold and empty/like a lost soul out of place.

I could be wrong, but for some reason I was under the impression that this was a cover...which may be cause for a re-evaluation.
