about

A song where the protagonist is more practical than romantic.

lyrics

when love grabs you by the balls
it's squeezing you tight
when love's pulling on the strings

you are a
sad sorry sack of submission
and kissin of shopping and chickflicks
and cuddling

then you play your lame board games
and give yourselves pet names
sentimental and sappy and sickening, well

I'd rather be alone than gross

so I won't have nothing to do with love

when love's flying through your lungs like pieces of glass
when love's burning very hot

you dance and you leap
and go singing in the streets
then love chokes you til you stop

In tears you callapse
you really thought it would last
you invested so much
and you spent so much cash, huh.


I'd rather be alone than broke
so I won't have nothing to do with love

people act like it's the only thing that life's about
when it effects no one but you
with all the effort spent in dating games and match.com
there's so much else that you can do

Love's not climbing to the highest mountain
Love's not becoming a king
Love's not a triumphant battle cry
or inventing the ebola vaccine


but you say it's no lie
when there's someone by your side
on the day that you die
you fly off to paradise

I'd rather be an awesome ghost

so I won't have nothing to do with love
