Have any of you Ladonians ever heard of a No Doubt song
kalled "Tragic Kingdom"?
It goes like this:
"once was a magigal place
over time it was lost
price increased the cost
now the fortune of the kingdom
is locked up in it's dungeon vaults
the castle floor lies in traps
with coiled wires set back
decoyed by old cheese
now the drawbridge
has been lifted
as the millions they drop to their knees
they pay homage
to a king whose dreams
are buried in their minds
his tears are frozen stiff
icicles drip
from his eyes
the cold wind blows
as it snows
on those who fight to get in
on heads that are small
disillusioned
as they enter
they're unaware
what's behind castle walls
but now it's written i stone
the king has been overthrown
by jesterly fools
and the power
of the peole
shall come to believe they do rule
they pay homage
to a king whose dreams
are buried in their minds
his tears are frozen stiff
icicles drip
from his eyes
welcome to the tragic kingdom
cornfields of popcorn have yet to spring open..."
well, i really don't hope Ladonia is the
tragic kingdom...
