Thanks for posting the lyrics.

And there's even some evil mothers, Well they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt. Y'know that, women, never really faint, And that villains always blink their eyes, woo! And that, y'know, children are the only ones who blush! And that, life is, just to die!

This stanza expresses a distaste for cynicism (FROM LOU!) and is, well, romantic, even naive. If it's mockery, it's too subtle for me.

And, everyone who ever had a heart, oh, That wouldn't turn around and break it. And anyone who ever played a part, whoa, And wouldn't turn around and hate it!

The above stanza (I don't think those lyrics are quite right) I've never understood, yet it's the emotional and musical high point of the song. Odd.
