Return To Oz

Return to OZ
~~~~~~~~~~~
Bringing back those memories of a land called OZ
Presenting yourself to the striving hearts as something you aren't
Seen right through as clearly as glass in a pane
An annoyance at worst, a joke at best
I hate to say it, but you're just a sucker, ask the lollipop guild
The wizard is just a myth, you could clearly see if you only had a brain
So follow the yellow brick road but watch your step
You are no lion, but cowardly does come to mind
Just tiny women and men of tinfoil and straw
Heartless brainless fools are a dozen for a dime.
