A Stupid Song on the Radio

A stupid song on the radio — that I can't seem to get out of my head — is "Grenade" by Bruno Mars.

This stupid song is all about the way Bruno is willing to kill himself to prove he loves the listener.

He would "catch a grenade" ... "jump in front of a train" ... "take a bullet to the brain" ... etc.

Then to top it off he says, "I would die for you baby, but you won't do the same."

Hold on there buddy ... You want me (the listener) to kill myself for you???  And you're saying I'm a bad person if I won't?

Since when does killing yourself help anybody, or prove one's love? 

The Christians love to say that that is what Jesus did, but I still don't get how his death helped anybody.

Bruno, if you're so eager to die for a cause, why don't you put down your microphone and go join the Army?

Now get out of my head!
