Catapults (Lyric) by Shardik
The walls come down As the trumpets cry The peasants are rooting For the other side. The king is sick The prince is a jerk The queen is fat And the serfs won't work. "In the kingdom of the blind The one eyed man is king" But why lead a horse to water If the fat lady won't sing? Money is scarce And the livestock's thin What good is trade If the rich just win? There's disease in the streets Yes, the rats agree While the fleas all play A bubonic symphony. "In the kingdom of the blind The one eyed man is king" But why lead a horse to water If the fat lady won't sing?

Up the ladder: Shoestring Salutation
Down the ladder: Ode à beaucoup l'esprit
