Prose - Screw Valentines Day

Fuck Valentine's Day
That's right
I said it
Fuck New Year's Eve too
And while I'm at it
Fuck Las Vegas
Fuck it all
Why?
Because
I love when I love
I party when I party
I spend my money
When I spend my money
Nobody makes money on me
By brainwashing me
Nobody makes money
On my heart
Nobody tells me when to party
I'm not part of the herd
Fuck that
If I love someone
They'll know it
But I won't try any harder
On the 14th
If I'm happy
You'll know it
But I won't show it
On the 1st
Or in a casino
If I just want to walk
And just look
I will
I'll take their free drinks
But I won't throw no dice
I won't play no slots
I won't say "hit me"
You see
I don't need all that
I look at the crowd
And laugh
Because I don't need it
I don't need what they need
Why?
Because I don't want to be told
What I need
And when I need it
And how I'll do it
People laugh at the crowd
The people who skim from the crowd
And the people who won't run with the crowd
It's ok to buy your girl some flowers
That's not my point
But if one day means everything
Then you have nothing
Because one day won't do
It won't make up for a bad year
Or a bad marriage
Anybody can buy a card
Or open up a bottle
Or blow a wad
Or be trendy
It's not that hard to do
But who are you trying to impress?
Why make it easy for them?
To take your money
To put pressure on you
To make you feel bad
If you don't do it right
By how they define it
By how they want it
Which is by programming you
To reach into your wallet
And pay
Pay the cover charge
To be part of the crowd
Go ahead
Tell her you love her if you do
But don't look at me
Because I'm not going to be doing it for them
I'm going to do it
For me
When I want
And where I want
