Romanticide - Tal Bachman

Another grand surprise

Your rapier wit cut me down to size

You love to pass your time

Looking for ways to play the thorn in my side

It’s deja vu one more time

Whoever said to take it on the chin

Whoever said that good guys always win

Has never seen the sorry state I’m in

A victim of romanticide again

My little atom bomb

This is the last time you’ll do me wrong

So listen when I speak

I can’t go on forever turning my cheek

Your whipping boy’s about to speak

Whoever said to take it on the chin

Whoever said that good guys always win

Has never seen the sorry state I’m in

A victim of romanticide again

I’ve paid my bills and cleaned out my closet

Slammed the front door tight

I can’t believe that I ever thought

This all would work out right

Whoever said to take it on the chin

Whoever said that good guys always win

Has never seen the sorry state I’m in

A victim of romanticide again

Whoever said to get down on your knees

Give your ground, or try your best to please

Has never seen my lonely misery

A victim of romanticide, that’s me
