Hate The Villanelle Lyrics - Glean - They Might Be Giants

Don't hate the villain, hate the villanelle 

With these picky rules and odd jigsaw rhymes 

Curses, these verses are my prison cell 

At school, I ran from the very first bell 

The teacher's ruler, those maddening chimes 

Don't hate the villain, hate the villanelle 

Joking in class, oh, the words I misspell 

Mumbles and stammers, but are those real crimes? 

Curses, these verses are my prison cell 

If someone could hear, for someone to tell 

But friends have all fled to faraway climes 

Don't hate the villain, hate the villanelle 

I solve this puzzle, but tumble through Hell 

These words are fractions when I needd primes 

Curses, these verses are my prison cell

This gentle quicksand turns into hard times

Curses, these verses are my prison cell
