Romeo & Juliet

This song contains depictions and allegories To binary relationships between men and women which Albeit presented in a reasonably satirical way Can be perceived by members of some oppressed And highly sensitive groups as outrageously offensive Members of these oppressed communities might find it Particularly disturbing that the song draws on the age-old Relationship between Romeo and Juliet, instead of Reimagining this rather traditional man-and-woman Romantic dynamic in a modern quasi-progressive Man-hating and woman-degrading fashion You will not hear about a non-binary Romiette And a tri-gender Julio who identifies as an asexual Mario look-alike in this musical performance Listener discretion is advised You like to dream of something ideal Sometimes believe it might come true All lovers want a perfect bridal Like Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe You want to be as passionate as Rhett and Scarlett You spoony kids, romantic youths That float in the clouds She wants him to fight for her like El Mariachi (If she's straight enough) He wants her sexy like Catherine Tramell And both want to kiss like Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet And Romeo And make love like Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet And Romeo You like to fake a strong emotion That you saw somewhere, but never had You dramatize out of proportion Until it drives your partner mad You want to be as passionate as Ralph and Maggie Romantic whores and drama queens Who float in the clouds She wants him to be cool like Gary Cooper (Or maybe Tony Montana) He wants her smart like Alice Abernathy And both want to kiss like Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet And Romeo And make love like Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet And Romeo The truth is, your love is but a trivial affair A pure reflection of what you dare To be or not to be. The hardest part Is knowing you can never love someone because of your empty heart And day after day, and year after year You wait for your perfect dream to appear But it never comes true if you idealize And keep on waiting for someone to come and open your eyes Like Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet And Romeo And make love like Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet And Romeo And kiss like Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet And Romeo And die like Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet And Romeo What are you dreaming of?

Angel-A What are you dreaming of? William Somerset Who are you dreaming of? Carlos Oliveira
