| When I was young, my mind would always wander away
|
| I couldn’t talk; |
| never had nothin' to say
|
| But now I’m grown; |
| nothing much seems to have changed
|
| I think I’m going insane, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
|
| Is this a fairytale; |
| are you the Seven Dwarves?
|
| Did Snow White really die while fighting in the war?
|
| They were the only friends I ever trusted
|
| Now they’re scattered and livin' in the city
|
| Unlisted numbers, huh
|
| Cinderella undercover
|
| I say, better alive than dead
|
| The war is coming, but there’s nothing much that we can do
|
| Stuck in a payphone, but the operator won’t let me through
|
| I close my eyes, but the memories burn in my brain
|
| I think I’m going insane
|
| I heard a rumor: They said it’s gone nuclear
|
| I stockpile cigarettes and double-bolt the door
|
| A sanctuary for all my friends
|
| We’ll stay in bed until the world ends
|
| So please don’t wake me; |
| I gotta get some sleep
|

|
| I say, better alive than dead
|
| I think I’m going insane
|
| Is this a fairytale? |
| This can’t be real
|
| There’s fighting all around
|
| They’re shooting in the fields
|
| They say that values change when hunger or ambition strikes
|
| Survival is essential at any cost or any price
|
| The cartoon animals on Old McDonald’s farm
|
| Are nodding off in hotel rooms with needles in their arms
|
| The Seven Dwarves
|
| Well, there’s only four alive today
|
| Cinderella’s working for the CIA
|
| Cinderella, the fairytale’s over
|
| You should know; |
| you got the scars to prove it
|
| And your skin isn’t as soft as it used to
|
| But I don’t care; |
| come on, you said it, baby
|
| Cinderella undercover
|
| I say, better alive than—

|
| I say, better alive than dead |
