In the Middle Ages	©2000   Michael Jerling		

In the Middle Ages 
The world went dark
Everything together 
Just fell apart
King in his castle 
The drawbridge up
You could pray in a cathedral
Sleep in a hut
Live like a monk 
Die of the plague
If you need a vacation 
Go on a crusade
In the Middle Ages
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
In the Middle Ages

In the Middle Ages
Conditions were brutal
You could rail at society
But it was feudal
Health care was holistic
The food was organic
A few little maggots
Didn’t cause a panic
They would bleed you with leeches
For your fevered cough
They would cast out  your demons
While your leg rotted off
In the Middle Ages
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
In the Middle Ages

In the Middle Ages
The Earth was flat
That was no bull
The Pope saw to that
Beowulf was a literary hit
But no one could read
So it didn’t sell much
To paint in perspective
In Florence or France
You would just have to wait
For the Renaissance
In the Middle Ages
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
In the Middle Ages

In the Middle Ages
The world went dark
