When I was young, my mind would always wander away I couldn't talk; never had nothin' to say But now I'm grown; nothing much seems to have changed I think I'm going insane, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Is this a fairytale; are you the Seven Dwarves? Did Snow White really die while fighting in the war? They were the only friends I ever trusted Now they're scattered and livin' in the city Unlisted numbers, huh Cinderella undercover I say, better alive than dead The war is coming, but there's nothing much that we can do Stuck in a payphone, but the operator won't let me through I close my eyes, but the memories burn in my brain I think I'm going insane I heard a rumor: They said it's gone nuclear I stockpile cigarettes and double-bolt the door A sanctuary for all my friends We'll stay in bed until the world ends So please don't wake me; I gotta get some sleep Cinderella undercover I say, better alive than dead I think I'm going insane Is this a fairytale? This can't be real There's fighting all around They're shooting in the fields They say that values change when hunger or ambition strikes Survival is essential at any cost or any price The cartoon animals on Old McDonald's farm Are nodding off in hotel rooms with needles in their arms The Seven Dwarves Well, there's only four alive today Cinderella's working for the CIA Cinderella, the fairytale's over You should know; you got the scars to prove it And your skin isn't as soft as it used to But I don't care; come on, you said it, baby Cinderella undercover I say, better alive than— Cinderella undercover I say, better alive than dead
