about

This song is about a grumpy wizard who use to grant wishes, but now he's like "Nah, eff that."

lyrics

Said she traveled by the sea
Just to get next to little ol' me
She heard a rumor, of a legend, of a fairytale

A fairytale of a grumpy ol' man
Who could grant a wish with the wave of his hand
Sad to say you have better luck with pennies in a wishing well

I can't give you the world when you want it
I can't convince the stars to be your guiding light
I can't give you the world when you want it
And I don't have the ways and means to make everything seem alright

There was a time when I did those things
Back when we played games with hedgehogs chasin' golden rings
Back when I held hope in palm of my hand

You see this modern world has turned me cold
And I've become jaded, bitter, and, old
And my distain for humanity
Has reached its last threshold

I can't give you the world when you want it
I can't convince the stars to be your guiding light
I can't give you the world when you want it
And I don't have the ways and means to make everything seem alright

Now I say to thee, Go back across the sea, and leave me be
They will not see the light
UNTIL THE WORLD MAKES THINGS RIGHT

Maybe one day, i will change my ways, but for now
You cannot win this fight
UNTIL THE WORLD MAKES THINGS RIGHT

I can't give you the world when you want it
I can't convince the stars to be your guiding light
I can't give you the world when you want it
And I don't have the ways and means to make everything seem alright
