This is very close to being a comedy song--the world is falling apart but that's okay--We're In Love!!! It sounds like either an old Beatles song ("Love, Love, Love") or something by Eric Idle. I enjoyed the line about the Mayan Prophesy, too!
Story behind the song
I was in a goofy mood. (What else is new?)
I often write stuff with happy beats and gruesome images. It's what I am, it's what I do.
Lyrics
We’re In Love
Wars are erupting everywhere
Loads of pollutants fill the air
I know I should, but I don’t care
‘cause we’re in love
The jobless rate is way too high
Birds are falling from the sky
Still, I’m such a happy guy
‘cause we’re in love
We’re in love, we’re in love
Forget the pidgeons and the doves
‘cause we’re in love
Our world is overwhelmed with hate
The wolves have gathered at the gate
But anyway, I’m feeling great
But we’re in love
Don’t bother us by mail or phone
We’re in a world that’s all our own
And we just wanna be alone
‘cause we’re in love
We’re in love, we’re in love
We fit together, hand in glove
‘cause we’re in love
The Mayans prophesize the end
For 2012, but until then
I’ll have my lover and my friend
‘cause we’re in love
Don’t bother us by mail or phone
We’re in a world that’s all our own
And we just wanna be alone
‘cause we’re in love
We’re in love, we’re in love
We fit together, hand in glove
‘cause we’re in love
