Quotes / Valentine's Day Vitriol

"I concur, older brother. St. Valentine's Day is but a gross example of corporate greed. It's a phony holiday for desperate men to waste far too much money on things their mates, or potential mates, don't need."

— Lisa Loud, Lincoln And

We spend 20 billion dollars a year
On roses and heart-shaped souvenirs
Sentimental ads try to tug at our heartstrings
"Show her you love her with a 40 thousand dollar ring!"

So it goes, we'll drive to Walmart
Buy a rose, and a card from Hallmark
Surprise your girl
"Oh Honey, you're so sweet!"
But is it really that sweet when there's a deadline to meet?

So it's Valentine's Day and you're single
And you've got nobody with which you can mingle, baby
Dry your eyes, no tears, don't cry
Don't you know Valentine's Day is one fat lie?

— Jacksfilms, "Valentine's Day Is A Lie"

"February 14th, everybody's with somebody
You're not"

— CrazyCod, "Coping on Valentine's Day"

Valentine, St. Valentine
I gotta make it through your day
Of candy hearts and chocolate sharts
and every bullshit love cliché
The hard-ons and the heartaches
The pressure, pain, and fear
Valentine's Day
Got to survive you another year

— Big Mouth, "My Furry Valentine"

"Our story begins in a picturesque Midwestern town in America, on Valentine's Day. The most useless, insignificant, putrid holiday known to man or clown! Love is nothing but a sick, twisted game of manipulation. Love is a FUCKING LIE!" (laughs)
