lyrics

Fortunately for us

we can do what we want

it’s a free dang nation

and so we’re celebrating our love



but what if someone came to power

for whom love made their heart feel sour



lets say there’s written

by a federal commission

a law banning expressions of love

and every February there’s a

crackdown on the very sacred day

we set aside for this cause



I guess we’d have to give up all the comfort

of living in the status quo

I guess we’d lose our prominent social status

and who knows where we’d have to go



if it was a crime

to celebrate valentines

well then I guess I’d be a mafia guy

I’d have to check if you were wearing a wire



if it was a crime

to celebrate valentines

we’d be just like Bonnie and Clyde

hunted down and shot 500 times



I hope there’s no one out there with intentions to start

breaking every future politicians heart

so they all get elected

and mess it all up

infringing on all our expressions of love



so when I bring home chocolates

and give you a kiss

remember they could someday soon go and outlaw this



but if it was a crime

to celebrate valentines

well then I guess I’d be a mafia guy

my bouquet would make me a pariah



if it was a crime

to celebrate valentines

I would fail to comply

I would fail to comply
