A fairytale
from a faraway shore.
A
smiling face,
inviting and warm.
On Sunday night
for 25 years.
Adventureland, Adventureland.
Ainkerbell
draws curtains apart.
Reaching for young minds and young hearts.
Adventureland,
distractions from school.
Tomorrowland,
a new set of rules.
The wonders of tomorrow's world today.
Utopia,
a motherless state.
Animals,
no birth and no age.
Young and feathered nephews.
Mirror our fears.
And see us through
the turbulent years.
Meanwhile at the orphanage,
you don't get born,
you never grow up.
You can learn your lessons taught by patriarchal mice and ducks.
You can keep your innocence,
keep smiling and you'll understand.
To make the world a better place,
we all should move to Disneyland.
Fathers fade and
uncles appear.
Some feed for whales
through envy and fear.
No signs of war,
no room for love.
A
metrophys and three-fingered blood.
Heroes,
our heroes, we're told.
Savages,
surrender,
let it go.
Safe at home,
guard your village.
Over an
unsteady stand,
names are changed,
the kids can watch.
Napoleon,
Sin Eden,
there's a bullet hole in a Mickey Mouse watch.
Actions play with modern shells on
the welcome mat to the promised land.
There's one way into the * ball,
there's no escape from Disneyland.
