Lyrics

Lady: I am
Down I am up I am small I am rough
I'm a wall I am tough I'm a knife I'm awake
I'm alive I am strong I am death I am song
I regret I'm ideal I'm alive I survive
Soul on fire
Inspire
I've got
This I've got this I've got this I've got this
I've got this I've got this I've got this
I've got this
I need a divorce
Courtier: Your Highness, good morning
Lady: This marriage is untenable and the charade is killing me
Courtier: Divorce goes against the will of God, Your Royal Highness
I worry you are not well
Lady: Yes, living a lie makes me sick
And I'm done sacrificing my life in order to keep up appearances
Courtier: But how would you manage without our protection?
There are so many secrets to be kept
Lady: I have no secrets
Courtier: Haha, of course not
On an unrelated topic, a few months ago the palace happened upon a recording
Of a phone conversation between you and a friend
I have it, hoopah, right here
Lady: I can't get pregnant. I can't
Private Detective: We won't, Squidgy, this is our secret
Lady: It's illegal to record me without my consent
Courtier: You seem confused, so I will be crystal clear
You are a mentally unstable, vapid, silly woman
Lacking capacity to care for yourself or your children
You forget the sacred duties you swore to uphold
In brief, it is highly advised you do your job
Stay married stay quiet
You are just a cog
We are
The Machine
Lady: I've got this I've got this I've got this
Courtier: And remember, the palace made you
The palace can break you
Lady: Try and break me
You can't take me
Listen close and don't mistake me
This glass slipper doesn't fit
The fairy tale is over with
Courtier: Mediocre bitch
Lady: Call me mediocre
I will take you over
If you come for me
They'll find a body in the river
Paparazzi: Crazy bitch dirty trick
Squirmy snitch
You make me sick
Crazy bitch dirty trick
Lady: I hear this every day
You can't phase me
Call me crazy
Blame me, frame me, claim me, shame me
'Cause it never mattered what name you gave me
The majority acclaims me
Courtier: It seems the acclaim might be waning, Princess
Did you see today's paper?
Paparazzi: She's a megalomaniac
Forty members of the princess's household resign in protest
Lady: All the rage 'cause I bring change
God forbid that you're upstaged
By what's clearly an upgrade
Paparazzi: Prince spotted on yacht in Greece wrapped in confidant's arms
Lady: I am clearly an upgrade
Paparazzi: Her closest friends call her irrational and a sick woman
Barely maintaining her grasp on reality
Private Detective: You alright, Princess? The press is really laying its on thick
Lady: I can no longer remain quiet
This fairy tale is crushing what's left of the real me
Truth is my way out
I'll write a tell-all book
This book will be a lifeline and a passport
The palace must never know I'm communicating with the outside world
They would try to shut it down or do me in or both
I will not lose my children
I will not repeat my mother's mistakes
No one can know
I must break it open
For my freedom, for my children
For my freedom, for my children!
Paparazzi: Royal sources say the Princess is cheating on our future King!
Princess is sleeping with the help!
Sink or swim
Sink or swim
Sink or swim
Paparazzi: Princess's behaviour endangers the monarchy and Britain itself!
Sink or swim
Sink or swim
Sink or swim
Lady: I swam
That's who I am
I can, I can
Dance, dance, dance
To my beat
I've got this on repeat
(To my beat on repeat)
I wear red so they don't see me bleed
Courtier: Her Majesty the Queen requests an audience with the Princess
Lady: Your Majesty
Queen: I would like to enquire as to
Why you always preoccupy yourself with such gloomy things
Lady: You cannot comfort the afflicted without afflicting the comfortable
Sing to the night
Sing to the sky
Sing for the fight and drown out their lies
We know we'll never win, but we still try
Above all else, remember this
Go out there and love people and show it
Private Detective: The book will be on the shelves tomorrow
Now I ask you one last time, are you certain this is your only way out?
This is treason, they could have you killed
Lady: I defy all counsel, all redress
I'm the mother-f***ing
Paparazzi: Princess releases tell-all book!
Princess kept the book secret from the Queen!
Lady: Made all my moments your own
Paparazzi: For the first time in history, there is an intimate
On-the-record account inside the royal family
Lady: Just f***ing leave me alone
I am down I am up I am small I am rough
I'm a wall I am tough I'm a knife I'm awake
I'm alive I am strong I am death, I am song
I regret I'm ideal I'm alive I survive
Soul on fire
Inspire
I've got
This I've got this I've got this I've got this
I've got this I've got this
I've got this
