[Verse 1]
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
So they say, the subsequent fall was inevitable
They never stood a chance, they were written that way
Innocent victims of their story.
 
[Verse 2]
Like Romeo and Juliet 't was written in the stars before they even met
That love and fate and a touch of stupidity
Would rob them of their hope of living happily
The endings are often a little bit gory
I wonder why they didn't just change their story
We're told we have to do what we're told but surely
Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty
 
 
[Chorus]
Just because you find that life's not fair, it
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it
If you always take it on the chin and wear it Nothing will change
Even if you're little you can do a lot, you
Mustn't let a little thing like   little stop you
If you sit around and let them get on top, you
Might as well be saying you think that it's okay (N.C.)
And that's not    right
 
[Verse 3]
Cinderella in the cellar Didn't have to do much, as far as I could tell
Her godmother was two-thirds fairy
And suddenly her lot was a lot less scary
But what if you haven't got a fairy to fix it
Sometimes you have to make a little bit of mischief (N.C. x3)
 
[Chorus]
Just because you find that life's not fair, it
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it
If you always take it on the chin and wear it Nothing will change
Even if you're little you can do a lot, you
Mustn't let a little thing like   little stop you
If you sit around and let them get on top, you
Might as well be saying you think that it's okay
And that's not    right
 
[Post-Chorus]
  And if it's not right         You have to put it right...
 
[Bridge]
    In the slip of a bolt, there's a tiny revolt
  The seed of a war in a creak of a floorboard
A storm can begin with a flap of a wing
  The tiniest mite packs the mightiest sting
Every day starts with a tick of a clock
  All escapes start with the click of a lock
  If you're stuck in your story and want to get out
  You don't have to cry   You don't have to shout
 
[Chorus]
  'Cause if you're little you can do a lot, you
Mustn't let a little thing like   little stop you
If you sit around and let them get on top, you won't change a thing
Just because you find that life's not fair
It doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it
If you always take it on the chin and wear it
You might as well be saying you think that's it's okay
And that's not right
 
[Post-Chorus]
And if it's not right
  You have to put it right...
 
[Verse 4]
But nobody else is gonna put it right for me
Nobody but me is gonna change my story
Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty
