Bedtime Stories Lyrics by The Burning Hell

Flux Capacitor

2011

[Intro]
Hey!

[Verse 1]
In every folk tale, in every book, there is a hero or a heroine
And there is a witch or a troll or a crook
Or an evil stepmother or just a general villain
And I remember reading when I was young
And I always felt sorry for the bad ones and the tricksters
I never identified with the little lost kids
But maybe that's 'cause I didn't have brothers or sisters

[Verse 2]
And so when the witch died, I cried
'Cause I didn't want them to hurt her
Likewise when the troll got tricked
Ad when the dragon got killed
And I hated the part when the wolf got axe-murdered
And the moral of the story always left me unfulfilled

[Verse 3]
And I was not a sociopath, I was a six-year-old
Who could tell the difference between good and bad?
A little boy with built-in ethics who didn't need to be told
That it was wrong to be mean to your mom and to lie to your dad
But I knew if I had to choose sides, I'd probably pick the empire
I hated the Ewoks and I loved the death star
And I never felt sorry for the last unicorn
I always thought that song needed a lot more guitar

[Bridge]
And I did not grow up to be a serial killer
Though there are a few people on my list
And whenever I see a child reading a book about a boy-wizard
I find myself grinding my teeth
And clenching my fists and I wanna say

[Chorus]
Hey kid (Hey!), here's a bedtime story for you
The wicked witch wins and the orphans lose
They did everything right and now they're orphan fondue
And the moral of the story is you don't always get to choose
Hey kid (Hey!), here's a bedtime story for you
The wicked witch wins and the orphans lose
They did everything right and now they're orphan fondue
And the moral of the story is you don't always get to choose
