They said: Smile, they said: Sit still
Wear your lace, follow your will
Cross your legs, close your mouth
Be the pretty thing they talk about (ooh)
Well, bless your crown, baby, bless your pearls
I ain't built for those kind of world
Keep your castle, keep your king
I got fire and a goddamn swing (ahh)
Fuck being a princess, I'd rather be a witch
Trade that crown for a flame and it's what you got roots
I got roots
You wear flags, I wear boots
Fuck being a princess, I'd rather be a witch
Fit that curse, make the heavens glitch
You want calm, I want storms
I crack bones just to be reborn (ooh)
Your fairy tales don't fit my scars
I don't need a crown to touch the stars
I'll kiss the dark, I'll bless the pain
My kind don't die, we just change our name
Fuck being a princess, I'd rather be a witch
And light my heart like a servant
Did you get pearls? I got smoke
You say pray, I say provoke
Fuck being a princess, I'd rather be a witch
Dance in the ashes, stitch by stitch
You preach, if you're a priestess
I'll rise while from my own sin
Who told yourself was holy? (You did)
Who said quiet wins? (You did)
Who built thrones for men alone? (You did)
Who burns us when we grin? (You did)
Fuck being a princess, I'd rather be a witch
Trade that crown for a curse and a stitch
You want pure, I want power
You pray safe, I bloom sour
Fuck being a princess, I'd rather be a witch
I'll bleed my truth every scratch, every itch
You want grace, I want grit
You wear glass, I'll throw it
Fuck being a princess, I'd rather be a witch
Raise your hand, make them twitch
The saints all hide, the sinner's dance
We found God in the devil's grin
We don't bow, we multiply
We don't bow, we multiply
We don't bow, we multiply
We don't bow, we multiply
