"As they passed the rows of houses they saw through the open doors that men were sweeping and dusting and washing dishes, while the women sat around in groups, gossiping and laughing.
"What has happened?" the Scarecrow asked a sad-looking man with a bushy beard, who wore an apron and was wheeling a baby-carriage along the sidewalk.
"Why, we've had a revolution, your Majesty -- as you ought to know very well," replied the man; "and since you went away the women have been running things to suit themselves. I'm glad you have decided to come back and restore order, for doing housework and minding the children is wearing out the strength of every man in the Emerald City."
"Hm!" said the Scarecrow, thoughtfully. "If it is such hard work as you say, how did the women manage it so easily?"
"I really do not know," replied the man, with a deep sigh. "Perhaps the women are made of cast-iron.""

I think a face melting on this blog is way overdue.
Lyrics after the jump:
i could shout from the rooftops how i really feel
do you really want to know?
do you really care?
i could silently scream so you'd never hear
somebody said we must rise above it all
we were born to be loved
somebody said read the writing on the wall
we were born to be loved
how the meaning changes when the screaming hits your ears
can you count the reasons why we have so many fears?
a big heart, lonely eyes
a child plays with toys soon to realize
to stop playin, take it all inside
all he wanted was love
he remembers how well nobody cared
he was alone with everybody there
he took a chance and got outta there
all he wanted was love
the mouth of the fool was a whip on his back
hes got the scars to prove it
a broken heart
a matter of fact
but he knows how to use it
happy endings are not just for tv
broken hearts
dont lose one piece of the puzzle
and the beatles said all you needed is love
i could point the finger but there's too much inside here
Classic King's X. Faith, Hope, Love is a timeless album.
