for showing me things you never should
Because life's not a happy ending,
and maybe other people too.
They all would have been killed
they would have found out that
Pinocchio could never tell the truth.
She never would have made it to shore,
the little mermaid. He would have married a whore
from a wealthy family, after all he was royalty.
Cinderella would have scrubbed those floors
till her hands grew old and tired,
and nobody would look away,
that's the way it goes today.

And maybe other people too (x5)
