Dead Passive
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She's so passive but she's looking good
He's so passive but he's looking good
They are together but really they're apart
They are together but do not belong
But do not belong
Yes ladies and gentlemen
Let's fall asleep to a plastic lullaby
The ballad of Kate and Johnny
The ballad of Adam and Naomi
The ballad of Michael and Helena
The ballad is forever changing
She's so passive but happy in her way
He's so passive but happy in his way
They do nothing just sit and they pretend
They sit around and pray for it to end
Pray for it to end
Yes ladies and gentlemen
Let's fall asleep to a plastic lullaby
The ballad of Kate and Johnny
The ballad of Adam and Naomi
The ballad of Hugh and Elizabeth
The ballad is forever changing
I'm so passive
A hopeless fucking mess
We're so passive
Do our bit for charity
From Bosnia to London
We do it all for free
We do it all for free
