  12. Verse 1: Yeah, in a story you’ll have a protagonist, He can’t be replaced. He can’t be dismissed In most works of fiction – the main one, the good one. He’s in conflict, in a jam, with a bad one And all the pandemonium and all the madness Belongs to this guy – the antagonist. He’s the one who wants to attack, But we’re rootin’ for the protagonist chap. And as we read, the story unfolds, To reveal the setting – sometimes untold. It is the time and also the place Like the future or up in outer space. So setting, setting – we know is place, And don’t forget the time, you know it’s mate. Protagonist/Antagonist like to fight. It all is so simple. It’s black and white. Repeat Chorus.
