life's just a fairytale,
and i'm the cast of robin hood:
it's easy,
you just steal from the rich and give
to...
the needy.

but for all these Vagabonds! so wasteful of my grace...
oh, what a sad story to tell your mom!
when what you thought was grace
was just a lot of wasted time...
and that clever green outfit that made me iconic!
so convincing it was, that I was carrying off the goods
and sneaking them to a better place.

just another budding alternative artist, no?

but the whole town knew about it--
we all knew you were misled,
on some goose hunt pipe dream
whatever you want to call it--
so many of them get like that,
it's really a pain in my ***...

now the town has him surrounded
and we're just waiting to see
what he has to say for himself
i bet he doesn't expect this...
they're planning to use him for the heist!

(i know)

and isn't it sometimes such a rough art...
being human?
