these words are so proposterous
spinning webs telling a tale
and now i know i would rather be dead then pompous
science fiction tells the future so much better then fables
and those aristocrats always enjoy their greed
while stable hands scrounge around just for what they need
dragons kill all the cattle
and all the lawmakers seem to do is tattle
purple the sign of an outkast and a crown means disloyalty
and pilgrims march out to sea
carrying a sign of salvation so heavy on their backs
cause those that stayed met mr. Hacks
black cloth and a shining blade
so to america they all decided to wade
twisting fact and fiction
to create my new depicion
these words are so proposterous
but at least im not pompous
