FAIRY TALES ARE METAL TOO
by CJ Frei
Lyrics
Bang! Bang!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
(Verse 1)
Jack fell down...
Broke his crown...
(Background)
"Should've watched his step!"
HEY!
Humpty Dumpty...
Hit the ground...
(Background)
"Yeah... he's done."
ALL:
NOPE!
(Pre-Chorus)
Who's next?!
Who's next?!
Bang! Bang!
(Chorus)
FAIRY TALES!
ARE METAL TOO!
FAIRY TALES!
ARE METAL TOO!
Turns out...
Every bedtime story...
Ends up...
Kinda fatal!
(Background)
"Ya think?"
(Verse 2)
Little Red...
Walked alone...
(Background)
"Apparently she never watched a spooky movie!"
HEY!
Three Little Pigs...
Built three homes...
(Background)
"At least ONE of 'em actually read the instruction."
HEY!
(Bridge)
Ring around...
The rosy...
Pocket full...
Of posies...
(Background, suddenly serious)
"...You know what this one's actually about?"
(Everything slows...)
"...Yeah..."
"...That's kinda creepy..."
(Beat.)
"...Anyway!"
(The band slams back in.)
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
(Chorus)
FAIRY TALES!
ARE METAL TOO!
FAIRY TALES!
ARE METAL TOO!
Somebody...
Really should've...
Warned us...
As little kids!
Bang! Bang!
(Breakdown)
Mary had...
A little lamb...
(Background)
"BAAAAAA!!"
Dude!
(Final Chorus)
FAIRY TALES!
ARE METAL TOO!
FAIRY TALES!
ARE METAL TOO!
Turns out...
Storybooks...
Were hardcore...
All along!
Bang! Bang!
(Outro)
"...Anybody got another one?"
"...Cinderella?"
"...Glass slippers? Terrible idea."
"...Yeah... fair."
(real Laughter... feedback... abrupt end.)
