Lyrics
Jack and Jill went up the hill
to fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
Jill just turned and walked away
(Chorus)
Storybook rhymes if they told the truth
you know they'd only make us cry
'cause there's no gold at the end of a rainbow
and happy ever after is a lie
Cinderella she found out fast
that her love wouldn't last
'cause that castle looked good from the outside
but inside she wants to die
(Chorus)
'cause there's no gold at the end of a rainbow
