The Economic Fall Of Love
Why is love so important?
I don’t understand why people are so
Infatuated with infatuation
Divorce rates are going up you know
Taking out loans just for the sake of it
Mergers and bonds that were formed for the wrong reasons
Talk is cheap
We know this, yet
All it seems we can talk about is love
Billions of songs about it
Libraries filled with romance novels
FaceBook relationship statuses
Celeb gossip on who’s dating who
Trying to spark a flame when there
Isn’t even any wood
Now love is cheap
We’ve tainted love
We used it, abused it
Bankruptcy, debts, failed investments
Depreciation, depression, recession
Inflation on love has risen
And now it’s worth nothing
A useless currency
