about

A young woman graduates with dreams of a great life. But will the world let her have everything she wants?

lyrics

Graduation, ivy league churned
honor-roll hope for the nation
fresh face, big hopes,
hope the world just ain't too small to cope

her rolled up future clutched
in trembling hands
smiling ear to ear
now she's making big plans

a white wedding dress
blue skies, green fields
bird-songs for the bride
white horse for her prince

no mean streets or downbeats
or politics impede and trip her feet
no rains and no gales, never fail
let the city implode

She'll occupy a fairytale

And her life will be a testament
to happy ever after
she's got a good job,
Euro-trips twice a year

The sex is always hot
and the weather's always cool
cuddles in the morning then
drinks by the pool

and the palace where they live
is close to a good school
and that'll come in handy
coz she's gonna have his babies

with eyes the sky blue
and they'll never sing the blues
no Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae
her life she'll never lose and

hell will never run loose
hell will never run loose when

She occupies a fairytale

And in her perfect world
no one ever gets the flu
in the event of emergency
no matter what your policy

everyone saved equally
nobody needs a loan
with the money that you're paid
you can afford a home

no debt and no taxes
you get second chances
no violence or riots or tyrants
life on autopilot

and if not for the pirates
could this all come true
maybe not, maybe so
what's a girl to do and

hell will never run loose
hell will never run loose when

She occupies a fairytale
