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
