The "Care or Sell" Carousel
When the world comes crashing down
Out comes your knight in shining nightgown
Yet he doesn't know how
To save his own damsel's crown.
The king must declare war
Men young and old must serve
All must contribute
To the pool of blood on the floor
Women to the cellars
Children by their side
No one knows what they could do
But why even try?
On the cowardly field
You must prove your strength
You're not really a man
So, What's your dress length?
Slaughter versus salvation
All must place their bets
If you fail to do so
It's off with your head.
This kingdom starts to fall
The boys begin to stall
But where are the "men"
They were stuck in the cellar throughout it all.
