Drop dead, it doesn’t matter, she said    It only hurts when I laugh, she said    Sometimes it’s never a crime    To spend the day in bed    She made certain that the curtains were red    To dream better by the light they would shed    She leaned back, tilted her head    And this is what she said       You can’t win; think it over again    I can’t win; look at the trouble I’m in    We can’t win and we’re stuck here together    Yeah, I hope it will last forever.       Don’t ever dare to hope, he said    So I’m never let down too bad    I know there’s nowhere to go    So I’ll just stay here, instead    He knew better than to pull at a thread    They unravel like the thoughts in his head    He looked out; it filled him with dread    And this is what he said       [Chorus]       With good books and looks on their side    And hearts bursting with national pride    They sang songs that went along for the ride    And the other side complied    They said, “Hey, man, where do you reside?    “And could it be mother superior lied? "   “And is it possible too many have died?”    It’s only natural to reply       [Chorus]
