Somewhere along this path They dropped you Perhaps not on your delicate head But they dropped you Into a den of lions Into bitter, barren, wasteland Into a marsh of crocodiles Into misleading quicksand
Princess, this is not the world This is suffering These are not the acts of love These vultures are circling
Inexplicably, they brought you here But conveniently don't give a **** They sing songs of worn out excuses Yet sacrifice their little lamb But you are more than wool You are more than mere circumstance The gifts you have been granted Should be far from piteous romance
Princess, take off your tiara And set sail for superstition Cause the only road they paved for you Is yellow bricks to perdition
