As a kid at school you wore a crown
And you loved to see the world upside down
Until the teacher shook his head
Stop telling fairy tales, he said
So you found out it wouldn't be easy to make a living on your own
You looked around to find a job
But all you got was a chance to swap
Your lifetime, milk and honey
For a pocketful of money
And you thought this would be better than to hopelessly flop
Queue up! Queue up! Queue up!
Be patient and kind with your frustration in mind
Queue up! Queue up! Queue up!
It'll take some time, 'til you reach the top of the line
For years and years you've worked so hard
Crawled out of your shabby backyard
Friendly attracted by the future
Where clouds looked much smoother
You decided that's the time to play out your last card
After your bank account had been fed
You're surprised by suddenly dropping dead
Your family cried like a fountain
While their fingers were counting
The properties you've left and the inheritance ahead
Years in a row are the most curious show
That you've ever seen on stage
You try to get away but they force you to stay
And in the end all they call it is age
