  • The extended version of the video has some extra lyrics run over the screen but not sung:
LOVE
(A thief's definition)
A. 2 swear allegiance
then back out like a
punt when another
offer comes along
B. 2 speak of loyalty
Only until some bucks
Are placed on the table
Then sucking up to the highest bidder
C. 2criticize 4 the sake of personal gain
or 4 the actual enjoyment of it
D. 2 make lobe like am
animal while swearing
up and down your partner
is the best all the while
thinking of your next conquest
E. 2 speak of a new world
without first knowing
how to fix your own
