When I was young, my mind would always wander away 
I couldn't talk, never had nothin to say 
But now I'm grown, nothing much seems to have changed 
I think I'm going insane yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Is this a fairy tale, are you the seven dwarves 
Did Snow White really die while fighting in the war? 
They were the only friends I ever trusted 
Now they're scattered, and livin' in the city 
Unlisted numbers, Huh 

Cinderella undercover 
I say, better alive than dead 

The war is coming, but there's nothing much that we can do 
Stuck in a pay-phone, but the operator won't let me through 
I close my eyes, but the memories burn in my brain 
I think I'm going insane yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

I heard a rumor, they said it's gone nuclear 
I stockpile cigarettes, and double bold the door 
A sanctuary for all my friends 
We'll stay in bed until the world ends 
So please don't wake me, I gotta get some sleep 

Cinderella Undercover 
I say, better alive than dead 
I think I'm going insane, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Is this a fairy tale, this can't be real 
There's fighting all around, they're shooting in the fields 
They say that values change when hunger or ambition strikes 
Survival is essential, at any cost or any price 
The cartoon animals on Old McDonald's farm 
Are nodding off in hotel rooms with needles in their arms 
The seven dwarves, HA!, there's only four alive today 
Cinderella's working for the CIA 

Cinderella, the fairy tale's over 
You should know, you got the scars to prove it 
And your skin isn't as soft as it used to 
But I don't care, come on you said it baby 

Cinderella undercover 
I say, better alive than 
Cinderella undercover 
I say, better alive than dead
