Uncombined

If you rely on what your senses tell you
You'll be let down 'cause sometimes they deceive you
I sensed that you cared about me
But it was hallucinatory
I was in a euphoric state
What a mistake
Oh love is as senseless as any other sense
It's a dangerous missile from which there's no defense
You can't understand it 'cause you don't have the mind
You're better off uncombined
Well then, combined with a friend who betrays your frail trust
Combined with a lover who soon succumbs to someone else's lust
Combined with a priest who doesn't know what he believes
Stay uncombined lest you be stuck with one of these
You can rely on someone else's judgement
But that's not that wise 'cause we've all got our own eyes
I judged that your innocence
Was your best form of defense
Then I found that the judge was on the take
What a mistake
Oh love is as senseless as any other sense
It's a dangerous missile from which there's no defense
You can't understand it 'cause you don't have the mind
You're better off uncombined
And then combined with a teacher who resents you 'cause you're young
Combined with a parent who resents you 'cause you have fun
Combined with a girl who's always got what she wants
Combined with a boy who hasn't yet
Stay away from these
Who will betray you, you wouldn't pay you to be yourself
And when they lay you in fields to retire you
Who will take off their hat?
Well I can relate just how unimportant
All the important things are
'Cause when your heart is open
It closes with a scar
I know that you can hear me
And you don't like what I'm saying
There's no trusting just for trusting's sake
What a mistake
Oh love is as senseless as any other sense
It's a dangerous missile from which there's no defense
You can't understand it 'cause you don't have the mind
You're better off uncombined
Well then, combined with a leader who never takes a stand
Combined with a dream where no one else gives a damn
Combined with a lifestyle that soon makes you its slave
Combined with anything at all
Combined with a child who always must come first
Combined with a cure that just makes the sickness worse
Combined with a wife you can never please
Stay uncombined lest you be stuck with one of these
You can maintain your defensive shelter
But it will be smashed down
To helter skelter
