They say no,
Religion, age, race
Lock it up in a big chateau
Because you can only choose from these
They can be 'the rules of feminism'
Or just the media
Everything's wrapped in criticism
And we're all wound up
They teach us that we're equivalent
But in a second it's forgotten
We end up being left in a state of ambivalence
It's all too confusing
Finding our 'other half' is a lie
They don't exist
Of all the people under the blue sky,
We could have thousands
It's like playing with a pup
The dog desperately wants the toy
It thinks it carries so much joy
But throws it away once he has it
We are the same
The things forbidden call to us most
We change our aim
But we don't know what for
Maybe that's how they work out most,
The ones that are not allowed
They make them close
It's the closest thing to true love
***
They say it's the 21st century
Anything's possible,
But that's it.
Possible.
Leaving you frowned upon by everyone,
For anything the slightest bit unusual
An older woman, younger guy,
An issue of castes,
Different religions
Or even races
A black and a white,
A Russian and Ukrainian
A friend's ex,
A sibling's soulmate,
Or even a friend...
The one next door to the one next door?
A family's rivalry
The archenemy
The freshman
The senior
The jock and geek... or the geek and jock
Caught a case of the Romeo and Juliettes
But too afraid to admit it
Even to Romeo
But he knows
Hell yeah, it's the 21st century
Great for media, business, advertisement
But we all know how the story goes,
They both die in the end.
It goes around and comes around.
All because it's
Forbidden.
