Fairy tale

Cinderella's on the bedroom floor
She's got a crush on the guy at the
liquor store
cause Mr. Charming don't come home
anymore
She forgets why she came here.

Sleeping Beauty's in a foul mood for shame
she says
there's none for you dear prince
I'm tired today
I'd rather sleep my whole life away
than have you keep me from dreaming

I don't care
for your fairy-tales
you're so worried about the maiden
when you know she's only waiting
on the next best thing.
next best thing

snow white's doing dishes again
cause what else can you do
with 7 itty bitty men
sends them to bed with
and she calls up her friends
she says
will you meet me at mid-night

tall blonde lets out a cry of despair
says i would cut it myself if i knew
men could climb hair
I'll have to find another tower somewhere
and keep away from the windows

I don't care
for your fairy-tales
you're so worried about the maiden
when you know she's only waiting
on the next best thing
next best thing

once upon a time
in a far away kingdom
man made up a story
said that I should believe him
Go and tell your white knight
that he's handsome in hindsight
But I don't want the next best thing
So i sing and hold my head down
and I break these walls round me
can't take no more
of your fairy-tale love

i don't care
for your fairy-tales
you're so worried about the maiden
when you know she's only waiting
spend your whole life on being waited on
the sanctity of patience
and a dumb appreciation
but the story needs an ending
and a better happy ending
cause i don't want the next best thing
no no
i don't want the next best thing
