If you think there's true love
You're betting on a hopeless stake
I say "maybe" but the chances are rare
More likely you'll get a selfish snake
Don't believe me, it's your life
All you have to do is wait
See the colors come off with the skin
Taste the blood in your miserable fate
Don't expect anything
Just know a woman needs a man
As desires and angst are evolved
Part of a contrived genetic plan
Mating evolved to escape parasites
Then parasites became we
A thin layer of purpose that evaporates
The naked gangrene is there to see
Everything else is random chance
Where you are in time and space
I'm sorry it isn't romantic
But that's how it is more or less
