Sympathy for Courtney Love



We made You.
You widow/martyr/villain we built you in the image we needed
Your love having suffered at the hands of self-manifested illness and
the desire for/repulsion from
fame
fame
fame
infamy from Your infirmary
the sickness to treat the sickness
We wanted our very own Sid&Nancy but You lived and
We made You suffer for it.
insisting You killed Our Elvis Our Beatles Our James Dean
You killed Our Cool
You killed Our Concept
and how that must have made You feel
oh villain We created
oh villain to lose what to You was a man
Your love
oh villain to lose what to Us was a god
Our worship
And when You cleaned up We cheered
not for a rise
not for success
but because it gave Us another
opportunity to take You down
and We did
as You did what you did best You
widow/martyr/villain
going back to the old pain
relief
We made a man hate himself for his pain
but couldn't take the blame
when We didn't get the joke was on Us
We needed someone to take the fall
We needed You
consider this my sympathy for the devil
