If trouble comes and does you harm, you've only but yourself to blame. I'm suffocating on the floor, a boot upon my throat. What led us to this darkened place? What policy? What vote? Who is to blame for all the ills? What is the antidote? The laws that give these men their power, which evil hand has wrote? Answers have I not, but heed the wisdom of my brother goat.Sometimes all we need is courage so that we may face our fear. Do we have it? Deep inside us? When we need it will that spine appear? How much longer will they haunt us? Must we to their laws adhere? The choice is ours, were we to take it, all their power is veneer. In your posture to their bearing I urge you please do not revere. They are men and they are flawed, they aren't your masters, this is clear. Freedom is for those who take it, when you see it give a cheer.

Not for the easily offended!Cinderella is a belle we've heard of oft before. Her fairie tale is canon, vital, some would say the core. Beautiful, and moral too, an orphan, maid, and more. Her perfect victim nature only serves to make me snore.¿¿Ella, lass, look what they've done to gussy up your name. And now you're on the poster and they've painted you in fame. You're helpless on your own, they say, forlorn, polite and tame. Seeing what they've done to you I'm filled with nought but shame. I'll admit that Ella has some etiquette and grace. They compliment her figure well, below a pretty face. But a model for behaviour? No! A martyr we embrace? Fortune comes to rescue you and deck you out in lace? I'm glad I'm here to tell you all that that's just not the case. Ella's coming back today to take her rightful place. She endured a childhood cursed by Nuck's own bony touch, and you're telling me a girl like that requires a fairie crutch? A deal she makes, a bargain, compact, treaty, an accord. Fairies play in harmony to Cinderella's chord. An Ella independent rises now to be adored. In tune she is with fate. Let revenge be her reward.
