the gods who made us seem to hate us all
they make our lives all misery and pain
we always have to stand up from the fall
all human power will sicken and appall
if two men kiss we will withhold the rain
the gods who made us seem to hate us all
we will chop down the stalks that stand too tall
converting into loss all of your gain
we always have to stand up from the fall
your ventures will all sail into a squall
and if you're lucky will come out again
the gods who made us seem to hate us all
the princess will be struck down at the ball
over the kingdom comes a noisome stain
we always have to stand up from the fall
we will not listen though you have to call
we make things difficult when they are plain
the gods who made us seem to hate us all
we always have to stand up from the fall
(C)2007, Fragano Ledgister
