Equestria Blues

[PonyHag1 591]

A parody of "Smuggler's Blues" by Glenn Frey,

 

There's trouble in the forest tonight,
Spike can feel it in his bones.
He had a premonition,
That he should not go alone.
He knew the green dragon was angry,
But he didn't think he'd kill
Everything exploded,
And the flames began to spill

So Babs Seed, here's your ticket,
Put the suitcase in your hoof
Here's a few bits now,
Do it just the way we planned.
Live with Applebloom for twenty hours
The Apple's farm will make twenty grand
I'm sorry it went down like this,
Somepony had to lose,
It's the nature of the business,
It's the Equestria blues
Equestria blues

The royal guards and the Wonderbolts,
The princesses and the law,
The plot twists and the villains,
And the things nopony saw.
No matter if it's Chrysalis, Sombra or Trixie,
You've got to have some magic
Cause you always carry bits.
There's lots of different characters,
Lots of pony deals.
Every name has two syllables
In case somepony squeals
It's the lure of the Galloping Gala,
It's got a very strong appeal.

Perhaps you'd understand it better
Standin' in my hooves
It's the ultimate society
It's the Equestria blues,
Equestria blues.

You see it on the internet,
You watch it every day
Twilight says she's not sure about it
But it doesn't go away.
They move it through Cloudsdale
Sell it in Ponyville
They hide it up in the library,
I mean it's here to stay.
Earth ponies are propping up the other tribes from Canterlot to Ponyville
You ask any Pegasus or Unicorn,
They'll say there's nothing we can do,
From the castle in the Crystal Empire,
Right down to me and you, me and you.

It's a winning proposition,
And one you can't refuse.
It's the politics of ponydom,
It's the Equestria blues,
Equestria blues.
