Christiane Roesinger / Die Lassie Singers

"Liebe wird oft ueberbewertet" - "Love is often overrated"

Love is often overrated
Love is not as important as people think
Love only one aspect of life
And the other parts are also not bad

Gratuitous love songs - wrong and bad and loud
As if life were built entirely on desire
And that is not true, that is completely wrong, 'cause

Love is often overrated
Love is not as important as people think
Love only one aspect of life
And the other parts are also not bad

Gratuitous films about love
Their plots are improbably family friendly
They condition young people to think
That the only point of life is pair bonding

Gratuitous advertisements - 
Bodies, mountain, profound emotion, sex
Dating agencies get more and more obscene, and ask:
Wouldn't it be so much nicer to watch TV together?
No! Yuck! Ugh!

Love is often overrated
Love is not as important as people think
Love only one aspect of life
And the other parts are also not bad

Love is not important
Love is the opium of the people
Love is a corkboard
made out of flokati [shag carpet]
Love is tautological - "because love"

Meh.
