(Love crops up quite a lot as something to sing about)

Woke up this morning, desperation AM

('Cause most groups make most of their songs about falling in love)

What I've been saying, won't say them again

(Or how happy they are to be in love)

My head's not empty, it's full with my brain

(You occasionally wonder why these groups do sing about it all the time)

The thoughts I'm thinking, like piss down a drain

And I feel like a beetle on its back

(It's because these groups think there's something very special about it)

And there's no way for me to get up

(Either that, or else it's because everybody else sings about it and always has)

Love'll get you like a case of anthrax

(You know, to burst into song, you have to be inspired)

And that's something I don't want to catch

(And nothing inspires quite like love)

Ought to control what I do to my mind

(These groups and singers think that they appeal to everyone by singing about love)

Nothing in there but sunshades for the blind

(Because apparently everyone has, or can, love)

Only yesterday, I said to myself

The things I'm doing aren't good for my health

(Or so they would have you believe, anyway, but these groups)

And I feel like a beetle on its back

(Go along with popular belief that love is deep in everyone's personality)

And there's no way for me to get up

(I don't think we're saying there's anything wrong with love)

Love'll get you like a case of anthrax

(I just don't think that what goes on between two people should be)

And that's something I don't want to catch

(Shrouded in mystery)

Love'll get you like a case of anthrax

And that's something I don't want to catch

Love'll get you like a case of anthrax

And that's something I don't want to catch
