about

This song was written about the book "Fair Game" written by Patricia Briggs. If you like urban fantasy, I recommend her as an author; she is one of my favorites.

lyrics

Fair Game
lyrics and melody by Catherine Faber 2012

Some folk think, where the court convenes
That blacks, or women, or gays, or sprites
May think and speak, but their difference means
They are not real people and have no rights.

There are monsters under the open sky
Who destroy the difference they can't make tame
There are those who think that the wolves must die...
Well, hunting the hunter is but Fair Game.

So strong the hate that they bear the elves,
They believe it justifies all they do,
There are even those made to hate themselves,
For the heart thus twisted can not speak true.

We cannot change to your sole caprice
To set your human fears at rest;
If we can't get justice or even peace
We may shrug and settle for second best.

Age and power, when yoked to love,
May bring results of a drastic sort,
And those who grudge the end thereof,
May plead their case in another court.
