后期:黑土
苏打岚:
Ever since I was a girl my own mother vowed
I must find the way to power through a noble brow
I married once for love, then my senses came
I must marry for the stature of my husband's name
Onto marriage number two
I knew what I had to do
my poor husband fell ill in a year or two
Solved problem number one, now to problem number two
His doe-eyed little girl with gentle point of view
Would I ship her off to school?
No! I told her if she stayed that she’d have
To earn her keep and so she became the maid
湾湾:
She was lazy!
阿粥:
she was crazy!
湾湾:
She was talking to the mice!
苏打岚:
She was hopelessly naïve, so she had to pay the price
I moved her to the attic out of sight and out of mind
I could have thrown her out, but I am benevolent and kind
湾湾&阿粥:
Mother, your heart’s too big for you
苏打岚:
I knew what I had to do~
After all, difficult children will take advantage of your good nature
So you lock them up, throw away the key
There’s one on every family tree
阿粥:
Ungrateful
湾湾:
Hateful
阿粥&湾湾
Vile too, the things she put you through!
苏打岚:
Break their spirit so they obey
Now they’ll do anything you say
Maybe you’d call it cruel but others would call it love
Tough love
I ask you, is it a crime to strive for perfection in all things?
阿粥:
Oh no, they’re so cute when they’re little but
Then they grow up and just ruin everything
I never wanted children, life was better on my own
All the screaming, nagging chilled me to the bone
But then one day I came across a flower growing free
Its magic kept me young, so I kept it all for me
But someone dug it up, now a baby held the power
So I “borrowed” her, locked her up and hid her in a tower
(Years went by, Oh! the sacrifice!
And against my better judgement, I fed her once or twice)
Teenagers now I know I wild eat their young
(But that’s messy
Manipulation’s easily more fun)
A little guilt, a lot of force, of course you have to lie
Remind them that without you, they’d shrivel up and die
They only have themselves to blame
If you’d been there, you’d do the same
So work them hard till they fall in line
There’s one way and its only mine
湾湾:Children are lazy!
苏打岚:Spoiled too!
合:But we know what to do!
湾湾:Govern them with a heart of stone!
苏打岚:Lock them up so they’re all alone!
阿粥:Maybe you’d call it cruel but
合:Others would call it love, tough love!
阿粥
Ugh, her own tower with a water view and
She runs away, the first chance she gets
湾湾:
These wretched brats think the world owes them something,
But it doesn’t
Far and wide I rule the kingdom with a heavy hand
But there was more, I had in mind a greater plan
I never cared to share, so the king would have to fall
But his child blocked the way to me and “Fairest of them all”
She was chubby, she was dumb
And grotesquely optimistic
She needed structure in her life
She wasn’t realistic
I give her chores and took away the things that she’d enjoy
But then I caught her singing songs with birds and then a boy
Love? Would I just sit by and wait?
For her to take my crown? No!
She had sealed her fate
She had to go, and so she did and you know what
They say, “An apple once a day keeps your enemies away”
Don’t be fooled by their tender smile
合:
Give an inch and they’ll run a mile~
Our idea of a happy home
Is one where we live all alone
阿粥:Dark!
苏打岚:Depressing!
湾湾:Desolate!
合:Now let’s all drink to that
湾湾&阿粥:Call us wicked call us mean
苏打岚:Cruel and everything in between
阿粥:You could say it’s unjust!
湾湾:Turning their dreams to dust
合:This is what we call love~tough love~~
