Ring around the rosies
Pocket full of posies
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down
Nursery rhymes are said, verses in my head
Into my childhood they're spoonfed
Hidden violence revealed, darkness that seems real
Look at the pages that cause all this evil
One, two, buckle my shoe
Three, four, shut the door
Five, six, pick up sticks
Seven, eight, lay them straight
London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down
London bridge is falling down, my fair lady
Chorus
Nick nack paddy wack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
Mary had a little lamb who's fleece was white as snow
Mary had a little lamb who's fleece was white as snow
(Baa baa black sheep have you any wool)
Mary had a little lamb who's fleece was white as snow
(Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full)
Mary had a little lamb who's fleece was white as snow
(Baa baa black sheep have you any wool)
Mary had a little lamb
(Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full)
Ring around the rosies
Pocket full of posies
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down
Chorus
Nick nack paddy wack, give a dog a bone
"It was written because all these little kids sing these nursery rhymes and they don't know what they originally meant. Everyone is so happy when singing but 'London Bridge' is about the Black Plague. All of them have these evil stories behind them." "The lyrics are all from nursery rhymes, and a lot of nursery rhymes go back to the Middle Ages. They're actually pretty twisted if you know the stories behind them, like about Black Death and stuff." - Jonathan Davis
