lyrics

Well, love is made for lovers
I am afraid there’s no milk today
This is your end. This is your life.
A Rubik’s Cube. Now this is my heart.

Well now sorrow is not your foe
Though it seems so. Well I ain’t your friend.
I ain’t your man. You hold no quarter.
You pitched me horror.
When all I wanted was romance.

Joy is reserved for the rich
Not you and me people; we get the infantry.
Hourly salary. They tell us be proud of it.
Call me a coward but I think I’ll run the other way.

Your bank roll cannot be your friend
Friends can’t be in hand. Hands cannot touch me.
Well they call me legion. I am a million
Voices in unison saying I don’t have to decide.

And they‘ll turn you in to a business man
When you turn 21. Rip it out of your hands
With their instruments of torture and general disorder
Modern misfortune. The pop explosion.

Hope I never see the machine gun speed
As it clatters out rhythm and rhyme
Or the horrors of war. Now fickle is fortune
Suspicious figures are crowding my doorway

Saying “Love is a lion.” I am broke but I’m trying.
My heart is like iron; that’s why I can’t cry no more.
Love is make for lovers
I am afraid there’s no milk today
