A Real Life Fairy Tale

This here's a tale
of the left and the right
Who met in the middle
and had a big fight
The other sides wrong 
in the things that they like
The lines have been drawn
and we've all chosen sides

They're dragging us down
we're heading straight South
We no longer need watches
with time running out
Where you might ask
my friend we're hell bound
So hang on tight kiddies 
cause it's happening now

We held out our hands
turns out that they bite
As darkness moves in 
consuming the light
We're naked in the open
with no where to hide
With

       Nothing

               Now

                     Left

                           Of

                              What

                                    Once

                                           Was

                                                Right

Good one Mike but... O no, you mean Left won the fight over Right! I recall another fight where Wrong won over Right. Right needs a better coach methinks.
