| It seems like only yesterday That I was living like a queen With a thousand riches surrounding My palace that stays so clean. I have my maids and butlers To serve me when I ask And if they don't listen to me I just kick them in the ass. But today, for some reason I didn't want these jewels I threw them all down to the garbage And turned my back on all the rules. I wanted to be dressed in rags To explore the other side I wanted to love my neighbors Instead of ignoring with my selfish pride. I wanted to fall in love Instead of money that I know I wanted a man to be strong and sure Not the kind that put on a show. I needed friends and happiness The things that I thought I could buy I used to turn away from the disgusting things I'm not flashy anymore, just shy. I used to think that I was the ruler And everyone else were my slaves Now I'm down in the muck with all these people Where there's parties and drunks and raves. I welcome this new habitat With my widely open arms For who am I to judge another Or place a sinner behind bars. For I am a normal person Who has thoughts and feelings to I express them deeper than ever thought Who knew I was just like you?! |
