lyrics

He loves her, but she loves him, and he’s not even a he.
He’s really a she, who’s just pretending to be to conceal her identity,
but she falls for him who doesn’t know she’s a she and he’s attracted to her anyway.
But he continues to pine for her who only declines him 'cause he’s really not supposed to be gay.

Love
is a rotten game to play.
Just a lot of
getting the most you can out of pain.
A push and shove
and you’re crying everyday.

Because the one you love is not gonna love, you
the one you love is not thinking of you
You better hope Sebastian saves the day.

Sebastian is the male equivalent of Viola, that’s all that’s to be said.
He functions as someone for Olivia to have, because it’s only appropriate
for her to love a man, though she fell for a woman, people don’t really talk about that.
Anything to keep her mind off of the sadness and her pining for her dead brother and her dead dad.

Love
is a stupid game to play
No one’s above
every pathetic cliche
Get a lot of
what you like now it’s okay.

Because the one that you love is not gonna love, you
the one that you love is not thinking of you,
the one you love looks the other way.

Some have to be sad, life gives them something bad
and they suck on the bone of it.
Wallow in their misery, because they secretly
enjoy their wretchedness.
You got to be a sucker for suffering,
whatever gets you off I guess.
But there’s no virtue in pain for pain’s sake so why not make
better use of the time you get.

Love
leaves you lonely and abused
You win you lose some
but mostly you lose.
If life ain’t hard enough
then sure love is something you could use.

Because the one that you love is not gonna love, you
the one that you love is not thinking of you,
the one you love looks the other way.

The Bushwick Book Club Brooklyn, New York

We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped since. We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
