Lovesong 101

This song is not about suffering or loss It's not about violence or vengeance or greed It's not about hatred, persecution or pain I've had all of that stuff that I need This song's about you and me And the things that we're going to be This song's about faith and rising above This song's about me and you And the things that we're going to do This song's about love This song is not longings and fears It's not about false hope, depression or despair It's not about hunger, death or disease I've had all of that stuff I can bear And you know, I really care, but This song's about you and me And the things that we're going to be This song's about faith and rising above This song's about me and you And the things that we're going to do This song's about love This song's about love Because I'm tired of hearing songs that go on and on About the way the real world ought to be And I'm tired of using pain and suffering As a means to gain validity And I'm tirted of wasting time trying to make words rhyme When I know they won't make sense And I'm tired of trying to dream up a universal theme That won't insult your intelligence Or reveal my gross incompetence ... incompetence This song is not about three chords and the truth It's not about vanity and all it implies It's not about distrust, deception and doubt And all of those things I despise Because I've gotten wise And I realize This song's about you and me And the things that we're going to be This song's about faith and rising above This song's about me and you And the things that we're going to do This song's about love This song's about love
