Video of myShakespeare | Romeo and Juliet | Prologue Song Lyrics Star crossed, lives lost Baby it’s destiny. I’ll take a pot of poison But I’ll give you the rest of me. Star crossed, lives lost Baby it’s destiny. I’ll take a pot of poison But I’ll give you the rest of me. We’ve got two families, making the same cash, “Dignity” don’t mean nothing but the bills that they stack So welcome to Verona, where the families fight. Montagues and Capulets at each other day and night. Star crossed, lives lost Baby it’s destiny. I’ll take a pot of poison But I’ll give you the rest of me. Star crossed, lives lost Baby it’s destiny. I’ll take a pot of poison But I’ll give you the rest of me. It started long ago—the feud, the feud, the hate Shakespeare calls it “Ancient grudge” but now it feels like fate. The families went on, made new babies to fight In their old, old gang war, “New Mutiny,” sounds about right. Star crossed, lives lost Baby it’s destiny. I’ll take a pot of poison But I’ll give you the rest of me. Star crossed, lives lost Baby it’s destiny. I’ll take a pot of poison But I’ll give you the rest of me. But there was one thing these families couldn’t plan, That their own babes would fall in love, and then die by their own hands. That’s the kind of thing that changes the game, the game, the game. A double suicide, what a shame, what a shame, what a shame, what a shame. Star crossed, lives lost Baby it’s destiny. I’ll take a pot of poison But I’ll give you the rest of me. Star crossed, lives lost Baby it’s destiny. I’ll take a pot of poison But I’ll give you the rest of me. The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend. Star crossed, Lives lost, Star crossed, Lives lost.
