(Verse 1)
Yo, gather round, let me drop some knowledge with rhythm,
About a system back in time, that's medieval feudalism.
Lords and vassals, peasants in the field,
Serfs working hard, crops they yield.
Feudal hierarchy, like a pyramid scheme,
King on top, ruling supreme.
Nobles and knights, living large in their castles,
While peasants toil away, in their humble parcels.

(Chorus)
Medieval feudalism, ain't no joke,
Lords and serfs, feeling the yoke.
From the king to the peasant, each had their place,
In this system of power, of medieval grace.

(Accordion Solo)
(Verse 2)
Manors and fiefs, granted by the lord,
In exchange for service, peasants worked hard.
Protection and shelter, in times of strife,
In this feudal system, the balance of life.
Knights in armor, defending the realm,
Jousting tournaments, where they overwhelm.
But behind the glory, lay a system unfair,
Peasants worked the land, with burdens to bear.
(Chorus)
Medieval feudalism, ain't no joke,
Lords and serfs, feeling the yoke.
From the king to the peasant, each had their place,
In this system of power, of medieval grace.

(Bridge)
Feudal lords, with power untold,
Controlling the land, for riches and gold.
But as time moved on, the system would fade,
As new ideas emerged, and the old ways decayed.
(Chorus)
Medieval feudalism, ain't no joke,
Lords and serfs, feeling the yoke.
From the king to the peasant, each had their place,
In this system of power, of medieval grace.
(Chorus)
(Outro)
So there you have it, the tale of old,
Of medieval feudalism, the story told.
A system of power, from a bygone age,
In the annals of history, on a dusty page.
