Stupid Boys (Suckers For Love) [Glen Burtnik]

Stupid boys (Suckers For Love)
Written by Glen Burtnick
Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnick

God Almighty had a trick up his sleeve, then along came Adam
God was on a roll so he whipped up Eve that’s when the Devil had ‘em
All day long the girl is thinking ‘bout an apple
"Say boy, come on with me"

Stupid boys and stupid girls they’re everywhere
All around the world
They never learn, they don’t give up
Stupid kids, suckers for love

Romeo had a thing for Juliet
Yea, and look where that got him
Little tin soldiers and their suffragettes - don’t have to go far to spot ‘em
All day long I hear the radio playing another song ‘bout luv

Stupid boys and stupid girls they’re everywhere
All around the world
They never learn, they don’t give up
Stupid kids, suckers for love

Now the religious leaders are throwing a fit
The Surgeon General advises you quit
The Soviets are trying to abolish it
But the kids don’t care, the kids won’t quit

All day long I see the ladies out walking and that’s alright with me

Stupid boys and stupid girls they’re everywhere
All around the world
They never learn, they don’t give up
Stupid kids, suckers for love

Interpretation

Boys can be stupid, especially around girls.  Girls can be stupid, too.  We're all suckers for love.

Examples:

1. Adam and Eve (Genesis 3)
2. Romeo and Juliet 
3. In 1987 religious leaders and advocacy groups succeeded in pressuring the record industry to introduce the Explicit Lyrics sticker on some albums and singles
4. Every pack of cigarettes in the U.S. has a warning from Surgeon General of the United States, and there were anti-smoking PSA ads on the television
5. The Soviet Union was still a superpower trying to control it's population by suppressing religion and controlling the media.
