lisbeth, get down from there

Lisbeth

Lisbeth sits on her mother's throne

All the riches of the world she owns

You'll have to kneel in front of her feet

Or else "off with her head" says she

...

Serve me quality

Serve me fakes

Serve me a head

On a golden plate

Give me jewels

Bone and tooth

I'm the privileged

You all lose

I'm the one who'll rule you all

Bow before me or I'll make you fall

Born this way, yes I was

Born into a world of love

Now, now, please don't cry

If you continue you will die

I can't ever fall from the old gum tree

I'm the best there is to be

I'm the highest of you all

The king sitting atop her golden wall

-----

Maya

Maya sits below the old gum tree

Forever the lowest worst is she

Never rise to the top of the tree

Forever scouring the ground for her feed

...

I wish to eat from a golden plate

Even if the food is fake

I want to become the well loved queen

And maybe even find my king

But whenever I try to climb the latter

The rest of them hiss at me

I can't ever rise to the highest branch

Though the highborn make it look easy

Lisbeth's the one who decides it all

Sitting on the top of her golden wall

Born this way, yes I am

Born into the lowly world of the damned

Now, now, scream your name

Maybe it'll be returned in same?

I can't ever climb up the old gum tree

I'm in the worst position there is to be

I'm forever the lowest of them all

Looking longingly at the golden wall
