Molly's Rules
The titular track off our demo musical, Molly's Rules, features our catalyst for chaos pontificating about his moral code.
Lyrics:
MOLLY:
If you want to know how
I can breeze through this life
Keeping so collected and so cool
The truth is that it’s simple;
Something easy, something light
Just keep in mind a handful of these rules
So as you travel on this long and winding road
There’s just a couple things that you should know…
Don’t let another person pay
while your purse is the plumper
If they insist and bend your wrist,
that still is not a stumper
If you’re quick,
then you can stick
a little coin back in their hoard
And leave each place a little
better than before
Now come along with me!
JESTER:
Where are we going?
MOLLY:
To Zadash, of course!
If you happen on a bandit, and you’re strong enough to stand it,
It’d be crass to simply clamor for revenge
I like you, Trevor, but this plan just wasn’t clever
There are many better jobs out in the hedge!
Take your men on a walk, and we promise not to talk
Or even think to try and settle up the score
And leave each place a little better than before
FJORD:
We’re just gonna let them go?
They tried to rob us!
MOLLY:
The operative word here being “tried”
When all it is you know just isn’t clear enough
My humblest philosophies might clear it up
And since these simple stratagems might cheer you up
If it’ll help, then I can tell a little more!
If you plan to rob a man then just be sure to understand well
Both the manner of his stature and his mood
And if you can’t surmise it or if they end up disguising it
It’s better to go off and try and find another dude
Try and con the evil and don’t steal from happy people
If you doubt it, you can scout it to be sure
And leave each place a little better than before
And if there’s a rule here
And you think it’s rather clear
Then I’ll just have to clarify that point of view
Each rule has its exception
With a little introspection
You can find the proper path to follow through
And if you love everybody
And I mean LOVE everybody!
You might make yourself a couple rules more
Just leave each place a little lighter
NOTT:
Leave each place a little nicer!
COMPANY:
Leave each place a little brighter than be-
-FORE!
MOLLY:
Leave each place a little better than before
