Disney Knights
A generation spellbound by Disney knights
And animations crowned to protect the light
Told stories of medieval schemes, hooded witches and apple bites
Taught the divide between good and evil is black and white
As the fires stoked, they dream of conquering those frights
Blinded by the smoke, they ask where to aim their sights
Self-anointed heroes ordered to fire at spotlights
Their pointed arrows plant the seeds of their children’s fight
Generations of gasoline fed matches until they ignite
They recite their lines before bed each night
Only to be cast as referees in a rigged fight
escapees dodging floodlights
Seems the scales been tipped and the clock struck midnight
Like we’re all extras in a script given no narration rights
And animations crowned to protect the light
Told stories of medieval schemes, hooded witches and apple bites
Taught the divide between good and evil is black and white
As the fires stoked, they dream of conquering those frights
Blinded by the smoke, they ask where to aim their sights
Self-anointed heroes ordered to fire at spotlights
Their pointed arrows plant the seeds of their children’s fight
Generations of gasoline fed matches until they ignite
They recite their lines before bed each night
Only to be cast as referees in a rigged fight
