When I was young, my mind would always wander away
I couldnt talk, never had nothin to say
But now Im grown, nothing much seems to have changed
I think Im going insane yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Is this a fairy tale, are you the seven dwarves
Did snow white really die while fighting in the war?
They were the only friends I ever trusted
Now theyre scattered, and livin in the city
Unlisted numbers, huh

Cinderella undercover
I say, better alive than dead

The war is coming, but theres nothing much that we can do
Stuck in a pay-phone, but the operator wont let me through
I close my eyes, but the memories burn in my brain
I think Im going insane yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I heard a rumor, they said its gone nuclear
I stockpile cigarettes, and double bold the door
A sanctuary for all my friends
Well stay in bed until the world ends
So please dont wake me, I gotta get some sleep

Cinderella undercover
I say, better alive than dead
I think Im going insane, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Is this a fairy tale, this cant be real
Theres fighting all around, theyre 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 mcdonalds farm
Are nodding off in hotel rooms with needles in their arms
The seven dwarves, ha!, theres only four alive today
Cinderellas working for the cia

Cinderella, the fairy tales over
You should know, you got the scars to prove it
And your skin isnt as soft as it used to
But I dont care, come on you said it baby

Cinderella undercover
I say, better alive than
Cinderella undercover
I say, better alive than dead
