I was so proud
Following Cupid
The greatest Cherub
Gifting all of mankind
With the power of love
Aiming the arrows
Dipped in that emotion
Where two fall together
Giving their precious hearts
To be with one another
We never leave anyone out
Be it man loving woman
Man in love with man
Woman falling for woman
Need be, even man and sheep
But I tried to stop war once
Shooting arrows at Presidents
Hoping two men of power
Could bring the love of peace
To a world deeply in need
They had to assassinate them
Put two more warmongers in charge
So once again I tried
Once more they were assassinated
So I hung up my bow and arrow
You see, never blame the Presidents
Because they are only puppets
On strings, led by power mad Generals
Using war to make a profit
But also preventing true love
