The Ballad of Sleeping Beauty
Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty,
your kingdom will fall into disarray
Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty,
if you don't wake up today
Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty,
it's been a month or two or four
Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty,
people are sleeping on the floor.
The village people cannot move
immobile where they stood
It seems that time has stopped
Wake up to help them as you should
Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty,
your kingdom's falling into disarray
Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty,
if you don't wake up today
Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty,
it's been a year or two or four
Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty,
people are starving on the floor.
You must go, you must wake
You may be cursed but you must be
The queen we want, the queen we need
The queen who'll solve our misery
Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty,
your kingdom's fallen into disarray
Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty,
if you don't wake up today
Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty,
it's been a decade or two or four
Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty,
people are dying on the floor.
The people outside the sleeping village
Have no farmers, have no friends
because inside the town were all our lives
And we will meet our bitter ends.
Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty,
your kingdom's gone, and all is grey
Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty,
you may never see the light of day
Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty,
it's been a century, maybe more
Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty,
people are dead on the floor.
