Once upon a time, they say
In a land, far far away
There lived a princess, a prince, or kings
Who’s lives were filled with magical things
And love and triumph, and smiles and laughter
And everyone lived happily every after
But the stories have changed in all these years
Less horror and gore, more smiles and cheers
Goldilocks didn’t just end when she fled
The bears tore her apart and ate her head
Sleeping Beauty wasn’t saved by the prince’s keeping
She was raped by her dad while she was sleeping
Red Riding wasn’t saved by a man in the wood
She was eaten by the wolf and was just a dead hood
The little mermaid was shunned so instead
She took a knife and stabbed the prince dead
So the moral of all of this, the real crux
Is even in fairy tales, life truly sucks
In a land, far far away
There lived a princess, a prince, or kings
