lyrics

THE NATURE OF LOVE


You twist the reality
to make it fit your own story
You refuse to see the trouble you’re in
cos you think you’re the trouble itself

Unchained in the movie you made up,
You lose your time justifying yourself
You make us hostage of the wrong choices
you’ve made

You’d rather kill your own child
than give up your inner lies
You practice yoga as you swallow a prozac
to pretend you’re alive

You know you should ask for help
but you always choose bad therapists
because you love your neurosis
better than your freedom

You can’t stand your misfortune,
so your brothers have to pay
You push your darkest sides outside
splashing your neighbourhood
Your friends have the faces of your weaknesses
don’t you understand ?

Tup tup tulup tuptulup tup tup tulup

You twist the reality
to make it fit your own story
You refuse to see the trouble you’re in
cos you think you’re the trouble itself

Unchained in the movie you made up,
You lose your time justifying yourself
You make us hostage of the wrong choices
you’ve made

You can’t stand your misfortune,
so your brothers have to pay
You push your darkest sides outside
splashing your neighbourhood
Your friends have the faces of your weaknesses
don’t you understand ?

Tup tup tulup tuptulup tup tup tulup

Why should I carry your burden ?
If you don’t break the curse, who will ?
Clean your own side
Then we’ll be friends

Oui mais comme s’il avait été produit par Lee Hazelwood !
Une certaine idée du bonheur...
