All over town
All the people they gather 'round
And they pray to the dragon to give them what they want

It's always the same
With a breath of flame
He cooks up a banquet for all those who remain

And the people say
That it's always been this way
Though it isn't perfect, we have to let him stay

And the dragon
And the dragon he feeds them all 
When the pieces fall, as he chews their bones
And the dragon 
And the dragon he eats them all
When the pieces fall, they live off of their own

The mothers would cry 
After seeing their children die
Still, they would give to the dragon to fill their hearts with pride

Everyone learned 
That they all must take a turn
From the schools and the papers, that all must someday burn

And the people say
That it's always been this way
Though it isn't perfect, we have to let him stay

And the dragon
And the dragon he feeds them all 
When the pieces fall, as he chews their bones
And the dragon 
And the dragon he eats them all
When the pieces fall, they live off of their own

One man said
That we're all gonna end dead
By feeding the dragon we cause ourselves such pain

It was too late
For all of those he ate
Without enough surviving to take them off his plate

And the people say
That it's always been this way
Though it isn't perfect, we have to let him stay

Though it isn't perfect, we have to let him stay

And the dragon
And the dragon he feeds them all 
When the pieces fall, as he chews their bones
And the dragon 
And the dragon he eats them all
When the pieces fall, they live off of their own
