NO CODE AND NO CLUE

NO CODE AND NO CLUE

A man who is nice and in charge of his life
and shys from gratuitous chances.
On paper a man, made for a wife,
but who has no clue what romance is.

It's young girl's fantasies bought and sold.
Fairytales from a hungry pen.
Now bad boys replaced the rebels of old.
Real life bad boys are just bad men.

D'Artagnon, Zorro, and Robin Hood,
when the bad boy hero had a code.
A rebellious lot whose hearts were good.
Now they just stop killing to reload.

The chivalrous knight became such a bore.
The bad boy makes the girls tingle.
So off they forge on their fantasy tour, 
and good guys all end up single.
