Murder Your Darlings

Murder your darlings Just let them die Throw out the trash And keep the best ones alive Pull out the wings The strong will survive The loss will be gone But new darlings arrive Murder your darlings And murder them quick Before you love them too much And some of them stick And you threw me out And you just let me fall You once called me darling, now nothing at all How many murdered, how many gone Somebody a loser, while somebody won Murder your darlings It's not that profound Like an unfinished song They keep hanging around Murder your darlings Be cruel to be kind They'll always remind you Should have left them behind And you just threw me out You just let me fall You once called me darling, now nothing at all How many murdered, how many gone Somebody a loser, while somebody won Murder your darlings Just let them die Throw out the trash And keep the best ones alive They'll tarnish the sparkle Of the chosen few So murder your darlings before they murder you Murder your darlings before they murder you So murder your darlings before they murder you
