Bill Beare - Trouble in Toyland

Superman has a broken wing
Disneyland stars won't sing
Teddy won't dance and he's only got string
Where once were his beautiful eyes
The white queen's now nowhere by the king's side
And all the pawns have simply realized
Although they stood for the greater good
They're just not gonna be sacrificed, no more. No more

The video screen's out of focus
And abracadabra's seen as hocus-pocus
Jude and Punch are deemed a bunch
Of bogus circus clowns
The building blocks don't seem to fit
The jigsaw's got that missing bit
And the nursery rhymes took a viral hit
Atishoo! All fall down. What now?

Seems there's trouble brewing in Toyland
No more little girl and boy land
Retreat, reject, rebuke, recoil and release is now the aim
From where we were to where we are
Such little faith in twinkle, twinkle star
Our dolls' house windows all have bars. Yeah, Toyland's not the same
It's just not fun and games

He broods, her moods. He goads, she explodes
Simmering doubts, silent wars. Storming out, slamming doors
Overblown, I never know. Leave me alone, I wanna go
New life, new times, new dream
The toys are nowhere to be seen
New life, new times, new day
The toys have all been put away
Oh, so inevitable, all sand castles have to fall

What happened to the happy people here?
Who never frowned and never feared
Why's it all just got so weird?
I don't recall so many tears
Frozen stares and all those sneers
Chaos, Pppphyew! just appears
So much trouble in Toyland
