"Don't gather food or build a home / There's plenty here for us to take / Working hard might be good for others / But we get by just being fake"

And we already have our first elimination, but I'll admit this one wasn't terrible. It works mostly because Reirei does a great job with the vocals here, showing range that helps to give flavor to the more repetitive instrumentals. So basically the exact opposite of the last ranking! It does feel a little kiddie for my tastes at times, but at least that works thematically, as Reirei is quite literally singing the song to very young children.

And ultimately, that gave it a small bump in villainy too. It's definitely not like over-the-top evil, focusing mostly on succeeding through cunning and kinda being a little dickish about it. Overall I'd say that lands this at a 3, if not for the fact that she's teaching a whole younger generation that being nice is only useful for getting what you want. I'm guessing the greater implication here is about teaching the kids to be carnivores, which might've bumped it up a little farther, but those implications are a little too heavy for the song to be willing to address directly, which ultimately holds it back.
