 Our love is a great work of satire

 a subtle critique
A                                Bm7
 Postmodern, a mocking masterpiece

Right up there with the Greeks

I've been satirizing ever since

The first day we met

 Exploding with irony and burlesque

Right up there with Voltaire
              Gbm7           Em    Bm
I meant not a single tender word
E
 That I ever said
A                                Bm7
 Our love was a great work of satire
     D              Gbm
That flew over your head
               E
-Flew over your head-
