R + J Lyrics by Fouad Dakwar

2021

[Verse]
If Romeo and Juliet lived
They would be depressed
They’re better off dead
They’re better off dead
And if the potion
That she sipped had only
Lasted just a minute less
They’d say what I’ve said
They’re better off dead
If Romeo and Juliet lived
They would be depressed
They’re better off dead
They’re better off dead
And if the potion
That she sipped had only
Lasted just a minute less
They’d say what I’ve said
They’re better off dead
[Pre-Chorus:]
What happens
After the chase
And after they run away
Left in disgrace
With no trace of family left?
They’re better off dead
[Chorus:]
They’re better off dead
Oh well!
Yeah, they’re better off dead
Tough sell
But they’re better off dead
Oh well!
We can hope
That they’re in heaven
‘Cause here sure
Feels like hell
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2:]
If Romeo and Juliet lived
They would be in debt
Love doesn’t pay rent
So they’re better off dead
And if she had married Paris
Romeo keeps chasing Rosalind
Unhappily wed
As he’s rejected
(Again!)
[Pre-Chorus:]
If it had all
Ended differently
If the prologue
Were revelry
If the story
They live and breath
Was happy
Then how would it end?
Dead nevertheless
[Chorus:]
They’re better off dead
Oh well!
Yeah, they’re better off dead
Tough sell
But they’re better off dead
Oh well!
Yeah, we can hope
That they’re in heaven
‘Cause here sure
Feels like
It feels like
It feels like
It feels like-
