Castle

Castle

Listen up, we're taking over
You and your kind must step aside
Ranting and raving won't change anything
Decisions have been made and won't be reversed
Nothing is fair so don't complain
We keep getting richer and we like it that way
We live like kings, we live like queens
That rule over useful peasants
It's our birthright, our rightful place
Hush your mouths if you disagree with our ways of life
With how you're treated

Shacks will be converted into mansions
Mansions that captivate and astound
With grass that's greener than the colour green
And gardens so lush, they'll seem unreal
The sun will rise and fall on our part of town
The best part of town
This is how we'll choose to live
Live like kings and queens in our very own castle

Knock, knock
Who's there?
Possibly your worst nightmare
Put on your shoes and pack your bags
This is your only warning so take heed
Everyone should travel
So be glad that you'll get to see the world
It's larger than most people realize
It's vibrant, it's complex
And while you're doing that
We'll live like kings and queens in our very own castle
In our modern castle

Pushed along, pushed aside
It's difficult clinging to pride
We're constantly told nothing stays the same
Like a broken record, it drives us insane
Psychologists give useless advice
On how to deal with our new ways of life
We don't believe in what they say
They haven't experienced our pain
We put them in the same category
As politicians and salesmen
They always have something to sell
But the more we buy, the more we sigh
We dream of being kings, of being queens
Reigning over our very own castle
Living in a modern castle

As dark as night, as bright as day
Two opposing sides of an ancient spectrum
Perhaps its destiny that needs to be fulfilled
And when that's achieved, only the mighty will rule
They'll rule over us like kings and queens
In castles we've built, in castles we've lived in
We'll be forgotten royalty
On a journey to reclaim our very own castle
And if we're successful, we'll cherish our castle
So let's fight to have our own castle

I like a person who knows his or her own mind. I agree that everyone should travel.
