Favorite anti-Love songs
Post your favorite anti-love song. Mine--Beatles "For No One"

You day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all her words
of kindness linger on
When she no longer needs you
She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time and doesn't
feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you

And in her eyes, you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

You want her, you need her
And yet you don't believe her
When she says her love is dead
You think she needs you

And in her eyes, you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

You stay home, she goes out
She says that long ago she knew someone
but now he's gone
She doesn't need him
your day breaks, your mind aches
There will be times when all the things
she said will fill your head
You won't forget her

And in her eyes, you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

2. Nick Cave & Barry Adamson, "The Sweetest Embrace"
Our time is done my love
We've laid it all to waste
One thousand moonlit kisses
can't sweeten this bitter taste
My desire for you is endless
and I'll love you 'till we fall
I just don't want you no more
and that's the sweetest embrace of all


To think we can find happiness
hidden in a kiss
Ah, to think we can find happiness
that's the greatest mistake there is
There is nothing left to cling to babe
There is nothing left to soil
I just don't want you no more
and that's the sweetest embrace of all


Ooohhh where did it begin
When all we did was lose
There's nothin' left to win


So lay your weapons down
they serve no purpose in your hands
And if you wanna hold me
then go ahead and hold me
I won't upset your plans
If it's revenge you want
then take it babe
Or you can walk right out the door
I just don't want you anymore
And that's the sweetest embrace of all


Ooohhh where did it begin
When all we did was lose
There's nothin' left to win


It's over babe
And it really is a shame
We are losers you and me babe
In a rigged and crooked game
My desire for you is endless
And I love you most of all
I just don't want you no more
and that's the sweetest embrace of all

3. Buzzcocks-What Do I Get?
Edited on Wed Mar-10-04 01:58 AM by Fenris
WHAT DO I GET?
Lyrics: Pete Shelley
i just want a lover like any other what do i get
i only want a friend who will stay to the end what do i get
what do i get oh oh what do i get what do i get oh oh what do i get

i'm in distress i need a caress what do i get
i'm not on the make i just need a break what do i get
what do i get oh oh what do i get what do i get oh oh what do i get

i only get sleepless nights alone here in my half-empty bed for you
things seem to turn out right i wish they'd only happen to me instead
what do i get oh oh what do i get what do i get oh oh what do i get
what do i get oh oh what do i get what do i get oh oh what do i get

i only get sleepless nights alone here in my half-empty bed for you
things seem to turn out right i wish they'd only happen to me instead
What do i get oh oh what do i get what do i get oh oh what do i get

i just want a lover like any other what do i get
i only want a friend who will love to the end what do i get
what do i get oh oh what do i get what do i get oh oh what do i get
well let me tell you now i get no love
i get no sleep at nights
i get nothing that's nice
i get nothing at all at all,at all,at all at all,at all,at all cos i don't get you

22. Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen In Love
You spurn my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you
And that's worse

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with?

I can't see much of a future
Unless we find out what's to blame
What a shame
And we won't be together much longer
Unless we realize that we are the same

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with?

6. Thank God and Greyhound, You're Gone!
THANK GOD AND GREYHOUND
Roy Clark


I've made a small fortune, and you've squandered it all.
You've shamed me till I feel about one inch tall.
But I thought I loved you, and I hoped you would change,
so I gritted my teeth and didn't complain.

Now you've come to me with a simple goodbye.
You tell me you're leaving, but you won't tell me why.
We're here at the station and you're getting on.
And all I can think of is.........

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
I didn't know how much longer I could go on,
watching you take the respect out of me,
watching you make a total wreck out of me.
That big diesel motor is a playing my song.

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
That load on my mind got lighter when you got on.
That shiney old bus is a beautiful sight,
with the black smoke rolling up around the tail lights.
It may sound kinda cruel, but I've been silent too long:

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!

7. "Tired of Waiting"- Kinks
TIRED OF WAITING FOR YOU
The Kinks

I'm so tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I'm so tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I was a lonely soul
I had nobody till I met you
But you keep-a me waiting
All of the time
What can I do?

It's your life
And you can do what you want
Do what you like
But please don't keep-a me waiting
Please don't keep-a me waiting

'Cause I'm so tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you

So tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you

I was a lonely soul
I had nobody till I met you
But you keep-a me waiting
All of the time
What can I do?

It's your life
And you can do what you want
Do what you like
But please don't keep-a me waiting
Please don't keep-a me waiting

'Cause I'm so tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
So tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
For you
For you

9. I love that song! but my choice is "Fools in Love"/Joe Jackson
Fools in love, well are there any other kind of lovers?
Fools in love, is there any other kind of pain?

Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you see, everything you know now
Everything you do, you do it for your lady
Love your lady, love your lady
Love your lady, love...

Fools in love, are there any creatures more pathetic?
Fools in love, never knowing when they've lost the game

Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you see, everything you know now
Everything you do, you do it for your lady
Love your lady, love your lady
Love your lady, love...

Fools in love they think they're heroes
'Cause they get to feel no pain
I say fools in love are zeros
I should know, I should know
Because this fool's in love again

Fools in love, gently hold each others hands forever
Fools in love, gently tear each other limb from limb

Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you do, even your rock 'n' roll now
Nothing mean a thing except you and your lady
Love your lady, love your lady
Love your lady, love...

Fools in love they think they're heroes
'Cause they get to feel no pain
I say fools in love are zeros
I should know, I should know
Because this fool's in love again

23. Joe Jackson - Happy Loving Couples
I've just been to see my best friend
He's got another girl
Says she's just about the best thing
In the whole damn world

And he says, can't you see what the little lady's done for me?
Says it like he thinks I'm blind
But the things you can see
Aren't necessarily the things you can find

Happy loving couples make it look so easy
Happy loving couples always talk so kind
Till the time that I can do my dancing with a partner
Those happy couples ain't no friends of mine

People say I'm too damn fussy
When it comes to girls
Happy couples say I must live
In a lonely world

Wanna be, wanna really be
What my friends pretend to be
And be it in my own good time
Being kind to myself
Till I become one of two of a kind

But those happy loving couples make it look so easy
Happy loving couples always talk so kind
Till the time that I can do my dancing with a partner
Those happy couples ain't no friends of mine

(You know what I mean..
Those happy loving couples
In their matching turtleneck sweaters
Reading Ideal Homes magazine..)

10. When I saw this thread
I thought of this song. Dunno why.

Gordon is a moron by Jilted John

I've been going out with a girl, her name is Julie
But last night she said to me, When we were watching telly
This is what she said.
She said "Listen John, I love you-but there's this bloke I fancy
I don't want to two-time you so it's the end for you and me."
"Who's this bloke?" I asked her. "Gordon "she replied
"Not that puff" I said dismayed. "Yes, but he's no puff" she cried
"He's more a man than you'll ever be!"

Here we go, Two, three, four!

I was so upset that I cried all the way to the chip- shop.
When I came out, there was Gordon standing at the bus stop
And guess who was with him, Yeah, Julie
and they were both laughing at me.
Oh, she is cruel and heartless, to pack me for Gordon
Just 'cause he's better looking than me, Just 'cause he's cool and trendy.
But I know he's a moron, Gordon is a moron
Gordon is a moron, Gordon is a moron

Here we go, two, three, four!

Oh, she's a slug and he's a creep. She's a tart , he's very cheap.
She is a slut, he thinks he's tough, she is a bitch, he is a puff.
Yeah, yeah it's not fair, Yeah, yeah it's not fair
I'm so upset, I'm so upset, Yeah, yeah!

I ought to smash his face in, yeah, but he's bigger than me, in "e"
I know! I'll get my mate Barry to hit him, he'd flatten him!
Yeah, but Barry's a mate of Gordons's in "e"!
oh, well! I don't care, oh, I don't care, I don't care

11. By Ugly Kid Joe
EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU

I, hate the rain and sunny weather
And I, hate the beach and mountains too
And I don't like a thing about the city, no, no
And I, I, I, hate the country side too
And I, hate everything about you
...everything about you
I don't like a thing about your mother
And I, I hate your daddy's guts too
I, don't like a thing about your sister
'cause I, I, I, think sex is overrated too.
And I, get sick when I'm around, I, can't stand to be around
I, hate everything about you
Some say I got a bad attitude
But that don't change the way I feel about you
And if you think this might be bringing me down
Look again cause I ain't wearin' no frown
I don't really care about your sister
Fuck the little bitch 'cause I already kissed her
One thing that I did to your lady
Put her on the bed and did anything baby
I know you know everybody knows
The way it comes, the way it's gonna' go
You think it's sad, well that's too bad
'cause I'm havin' a ball hatin'
Every little thing about you
Everything about you, everything about
I get sick when I'm around
I can't stand to be around
I hate everything about you

14. Love Hurts / Nazareth
Love hurts, Love scars, Love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud that holds a lot of rain
Love hurts
Ooo-oo Love hurts

I'm young, I know, But even so
I know a thing or two - I learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a flame that burns you when it's hot
Love hurts
Ooo-oo Love hurts

Some fools think of happiness, blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves, I guess
They're not foolin' me
I know it isn't true I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts
Ooo-oo Love hurts

15. "I Am a Rock" by Simon & Garfunkel
"...and I won't disturb the slumber
of feelings that have died,
if I'd never loved, I never would have cried.
I am a rock, I am an island.
And a rock feels no pain.
And an island never cries."

How much more anti-love can you get?

16. Only Women Bleed by Alice Cooper
man's got his woman
to take his seed

spends her life through
pleasing up her man
she feeds him dinner

only women bleed
only women...
only women bleed
only women bleed

man make your hair gray
he your life's mistake
all you're really lookin' for
is an even break, 'cause

he lies right at you
you know you hate his game
slaps you once in a while
and you live and love in pain

she cries alone at night too often
he smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
only women bleed
only women bleed
only women mmmm...
only women bleed, you know
eehh, sweet..sweet mmmmmm....

he lies right at you
you know you hate this game
slaps you once in a while
and you live and love in pain

she cries alone at night too often
she smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
only women bleed
only women bleed
only womennmmmmm...
only women bleed
only womennmmmmm..mmmm..

18. "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division
When routine bites hard,
And ambitions are low,
And resentments ride high,
But emotions won't grow,
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads.

Then love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.

You cry out in your sleep,
All my failings exposed.
And there's a taste in my mouth,
As desperation takes hold.
Just that something so good just can't function no more.

But love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.

19. Don't think twice.
Dylan.

So long, honey bee
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, babe
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right

21. Crystal Chandeliers
CRYSTAL CHANDELIERS
(Harris)

Charley Pride - 1967
Johnny Russell - 1974
Also recorded by: Billie Jo Spears; Louis Armstrong; Count Basie; Ted Hawkins; Tommy Scott.


CHORUS:

Oh the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your wall
The marble statuettes are standing stately, in the hall,
But will the timely crowd, that has you laughing loud
Help you dry your tears
When the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers

I never did fit in too well with folks you knew
And it's plain to see that the likes of me don't fit with you
So you traded me for the gaiety of the well to do

http://lyricsplayground.com/alpha/songs/c/crystalchandeliers.shtml
And you turned a way from the love I offered you

24. There You Go by Pink
Please don't come around talkin bout that you love me
Cuz that love shit just ain't for me
And I dont wanna hear that you adore me
And I know that all you're doin is runnin your mind games
Don't you know my game beats these games
So your best bet is to be straight with me

So you say you wanna talk, let's talk
If you won't talk, I'll walk, yeah it's like that
Got a new man, he's waiting out back
Now what, what you think about that
Now when I say I'm through, I'm through
Basically, I'm through with you
Whatcha wanna say, had to have it your way, had to play games
Now you're beggin me to stay

Chorus:
There you go, lookin pitiful
Just because I let you go
There you go, talkin bout you want me back
But sometimes it be's like that, so
There you go, talkin bout you miss me so, that you love me so, why I let ya go
There you go cause your lies got old, look at you
There you go

Please don't come around talkin bout how you changed
How you said good-bye to what's-her-name
All it sounds like to me is new game
And I was right when I thought I'd be much better off without you
Had to get myself from round you, cuz my life was all about you

So you say you wanna talk, I don't
Say you wanna change, I won't
Yeah, it's like that
Had your chance, won't take ya back
Now what, whatcha think about that
And when I say I'm through, I'm through
Basically I'm through wit you
Whatcha wanna say
Had to have it your way, had to play games, now you're beggin me to stay

Repeat Chorus

Oooh, don't you wish you could turn the hands of time
Don't you wish you still were mine
Don't you wish I'd take you back
Don't you wish that things were simple like that, oh
Didn't miss a good thing till it was gone
But I knew it wouldn't be long, till you came runnin back
Missin my love, there you go

Repeat Chorus 3x

So there you go, there you go

28. I'm So Sad (That You're Happy) - Cindy Alexander
I'M SO SAD (that You're Happy)
Cindy Alexander/ Dennis Matkosky

I lost..I lied
I can't stand to see you smile
I crawled...I cried
And I know I need to
Get a grip Get a life Close the windows in my eyes
Change my view Change my vibe Say it's over 50 times
I beg...I bleed
You don't even miss me

Chorus:
I'M SO SAD THAT YOU'RE HAPPY
I CAN'T DRAG MYSELF TO GET PAST THE FACT THAT
I'M SO SAD THAT YOU'RE HAPPY
(but I) WISH I WAS
BIGGER THAN THAT...BIGGER THAN THAT

You shine You thrive
And you're still the nicest guy
You make me sick
Yeah you make me wanna
Find a fool Find a face Anyone to take your place
Pick a card Pick a fight Where the odds are on my side
You touch my face
but you won't even kiss me

CHORUS

Bridge: You left my motor running....You turn me on....

No more tears No more Calls
Take your pictures off the wall
Save my breath Save some cash
Throw your t-shirts in the trash
Get a grip Get a life Close the windows in my Eyes
Change my view Change my vibe
Say it's over 50 times

CHORUS

32. This song is second to none!!!!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you XTC and "Your Dictionary"

H-A-T-E
Is that how you spell love in your dictionary
K-I-C-K
Pronounced as kind
F-*-C-K
Is that how you spell friend in your dictionary
Black on black
A guidebook for the blind

Well now that I can see my eyes won't weep
Now that I can hear your song sounds cheap
Now that I can talk all your corn I'll reap
I'm not so sure that Joey wed a Virgin Mary
There are no words for me inside your dictionary

S-L-A-P
Is that how you spell kiss in your dictionary
C-O-L-D
Pronounced as care
S-H-*-T
Is that how you spelt me in your dictionary
Four-eyed fool
You led 'round everywhere

Now that I can see it's the queen's new clothes
Now that I can hear all your poison prose
Now that I can talk with my tongue unfroze
I'm not so sure of Santa or the buck tooth fairy
There are no words for me inside your dictionary

Now your laughter has a hollow ring
But the hollow ring has no finger in
So let's close the book and let the day begin
And our marriage be undone

33. Where is Meatloaf's "Two out of Three Ain't Bad"
Baby we can talk all night
But that ain’t getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There’s nothing left inside of here
And maybe you can cry all night
But that’ll never change the way that I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn’t make me leave here

I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care
I’m tired of words and I’m too hoarse to shout
But you’ve been cold to me so long
I’m crying icicles instead of tears

And all I can do is keep on telling you
I want you
I need you
But -- there ain’t no way I’m ever gonna love you
Now don’t be sad
’cause two out of three ain’t bad
Now don’t be sad
’cause two out of three ain’t bad

You’ll never find your gold on a sandy beach
You’ll never drill for oil on a city street
I know you’re looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there ain’t no coupe de ville hiding at the bottom of a cracker jack box

I can’t lie
I can’t tell you that I’m something I’m not
No matter how I try
I’ll never be able
To give you something
Something that I just haven’t got

There’s only one girl that I will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I know I’ll never get her out of my heart
She never loved me back
Ooh I know
I remember how she left me on a stormy night
She kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door
She packed her bags and turned right away

And she kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
I want you
I need you
But there ain’t no way I’m ever gonna love you
Now don’t be sad
’cause two out of three ain’t bad
I want you
I need you
But there ain’t no way I’m ever gonna love you
Now don’t be sad
’cause two out of three ain’t bad
Don’t be sad
’cause two out of three ain’t bad

Baby we can talk all night
But that ain’t getting us nowhere

37. Fiona Apple - Sleep to Dream
I tell you how I feel, but you don't care.
I say tell me the truth, but you don't dare.
You say love is a hell you cannot bare.
And I say gimme mine back and then go there - for all I care.

I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream.
You got your head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem.
This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways.
So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise.

I have never been insulted in all my life.
I could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride.
First you run like a fool just to be at my side.
And now you run like a fool, but you just run to hide, and I can't abide.

I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream.
You got this head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem.
This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways.
So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise.

Don't make it a big deal, don't be so sensitive.
We're not playing a game anymore, you don't have to be so defensive.

Don't you plead me your case, don't bother to explain.
Don't even show me your face, 'cuz it's a crying shame.
Just go back to the rock from under which you came.
Take the sorrow you gave and all the stakes you claim -
And don't forget the blame.

I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream.
You got this head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem.
This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways.
So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise.

39. Voices Carry by 'til Tuesday
I’m in the dark,
I’d like to read his mind but I’m frightened of the things I might find
Oh, there must be something he’s thinking of
to tear him away when I tell him that I’m falling in love
why does he say

hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry

I try so hard not to get upset
because I know all the trouble I’ll get
oh, he tells me tears are something to hide
and something to fear
and I try so hard to keep it inside
so no one can hear

hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry

He wants me but only part of the time
He wants me if he can keep me in line

hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry

hush hush,
darling,
she might overhear oh, no-
voices carry
he said shut up
he said shut up
oh God can’t you keep it down
voices carry
I wish he would let me talk.

40. "For You" by Bruce Springsteen
"Princess cards she sends me
with her regards
barroom eyes shine vacancy
to see her you gotta look hard
wounded deep in battle
I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
To her cheshire smile, I'll stand on file
She's all I ever wanted

But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts
honey get your carpetbaggers off my back
You wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracks
You said here's your mirror and your ball and jacks
They're not what I came for

Chorus
I came for you, for you, I came for you
But you did not need my urgency
I came for you, for you, I came for you
But your life was one long emergency
And your cloud line urges me
My electric surges free

Oh, crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weak
Ooh, reveal yourself all now to now girl, while you've got the strength to speak
they're waiting for you at Bellevue, with their oxygen masks
But I could give it all to you girl if you had the strength to ask
Don't call for your surgeon, even he says it's too late
It's not your lungs this time, it's your heart that holds your fate
Don't give me my money, honey, I don't want it back
You and your pony face and your union jack
Just take a local joker and see which way he cracks
That's not what I came for...

chorus

And your strength is devastating
in the face of all these odds
remember how I kept you waiting
When it was my time to be the god

You were not half so proud when I found you broken on the beach
Remember how I poured salt on your tongue and hung just out of reach
And the band they played the homecoming theme as I caressed your cheek
That ragged, jagged melody, she still clings to me like a leach
But that medal you wore on your chest always got in the way
like a little girl with a trophy, so soft to find her way
We were both hitchikers, with our ears turned to the roar
Of some heavy tempered engine on an alien distant shore
so I guess you left to find a better reason than the one we were living for
Its not that nursery mouth I came back for
it's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
Because I've broken all your windows and ran through all your doors
And who am I to ask you to lick my sores
That's not what I came for"

chorus

From Bruce's first album, "Greetings From Asbury Park"

43. I Am A Rock, Simon & Garfunkel...
pretty good anitlove song....

A winter’s day
In a deep and dark december;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I’ve built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It’s laughter and it’s loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

Don’t talk of love,
But I’ve heard the words before;
It’s sleeping in my memory.
I won’t disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.

45. "Hurt" Bicycle Thief
Well, you can't hurt me
'cause I'm un-hurtable
and you can't scare me
'cause I'm unshakable
and you can't touch me
'cause I'm unreachable
and you can't get me
'cause I'm unforgetable.
I've decided I'm not going through it again
I made my mind up I'm not gonna do it again
Well, I've done things that are unforgivable,
I've made mistakes that are irreversible
so please don't give it
'cause I can't take it
I made my bed now I'm gonna lay in it
I've decided
I'm not going through it again

I made my mind up I'm not gonna do it again
Well, I've done things that are unforgivable,
I've made mistakes that are irreversible
so please don't give it
'cause I can't take it
I made my bed now I'm gonna lay in it
I've decided
I'm not going through it again

Well love and happiness are inconceivable
so don't love me
'cause I'm unlovable
and don't tease me
'cause I'm un-temptable
and you can't be with me
'cause I'm un-bewithable
I've decided I'm not going through it again
I've made my mind up
I'm not gonna do it again.

46. Guy Who Doesn't Get It by Jill Sobule.
Can't you tell that I am dying inside?
Can't you hear my muffled cry?
Do you have to be told a thousand times?
You're the guy who doesn't get it

Don't you know my life's a quiet hell?
I'm a black hole, I'm an empty shell
Does it occur to you /that/ I might need help?
You're the guy who doesn't get it

Say I'm in the tub with a razor blade
You'd walk in and ask me "How was your day?"
Then you'd lather up and start to shave
As I bleed on the new tile floor

I'm sure that you really care for me
And your heart's as big as Germany
But you're as blind as they were back in '33
You're the guy who doesn't get it

Say the car exhaust /is in/ my brain
The Nebutol is racing through my veins
You'd come in and ask "Are you okay?"
As I close my eyes forever

Can't you tell that I am dying inside?
Can't you hear my muffled cry?
What's going on /inside those/ vacant eyes?
You're the guy who doesn't get it
/You're the guy who doesn't get it/
