(Verse 1)
Click-click-flash go the cameras, darling
We’re covered in the glitter and the grime
We’re the toast of the town, the new high-society conquerors
We’re the ones who finally stopped the rhyme
Got a pocket full of nothing but a story to tell
We took their "pyramid" and rang the bell
They love the idea of the mess we made
Now it’s a monument, a victory, a brand-new parade
(Pre-Chorus)
Oh, they're all applauding
And this time the joke lands
The chandeliers are shaking from the bass
I'm a masterpiece of "finally letting go"
With a genuine smile replacing my face
(Chorus)
THIS ISN'T GLAMOUR, IT'S A REVOLUTION!
We’re burning the rulebook just to light the way!
So raise your glass to the beautiful rebuild
We're the new "Roaring 20s" and we're here to stay!
This smile is my own, and the payment is done
Yeah, the victory’s coming for me, for everyone!
(Verse 2)
My reputation's got a five-star rating
And my alibi is "I was always right"
They say, "It's all in who you know," but now they all know me
The stranger in my skin has won the fight
It's a liberation, a catharsis, a standing ovation
For a magic trick of pure revitalization
The rabbit’s alive and it's out of the hat
I’ve been playing this part, and I'm proud of that
(Pre-Chorus)
Oh, they're all still watching
But the curtain’s rising again
The orchestra is playing in our key
I'm a "Mona Lisa" who just winked at the crowd
Lit by the bright light of who I want to be
(Chorus)
THIS ISN'T GLAMOUR, IT'S A REVOLUTION!
We’re burning the rulebook just to light the way!
So raise your glass to the beautiful rebuild
We're the new "Roaring 20s" and we're here to stay!
This smile is my own, and the payment is done
Yeah, the victory’s coming for me, for everyone!
(Bridge)
Shout my name, shout my name
And don't you dare look away
I am the life of the party you're dying to join
We're all the heroes of the story we wrote
We're the captains of the ship we're bringing to port
THEY WANTED TRAGEDY! THEY WANTED A SCENE!
SO WE GAVE 'EM A FIESTA ON THE MEZZANINE!
(Chorus)
THIS ISN'T GLAMOUR, IT'S A REVOLUTION!
We’re burning the rulebook just to light the way!
So raise your glass to the beautiful rebuild
We're the new "Roaring 20s" and we're here to stay!
This smile is my own, and the payment is done
Yeah, the victory’s coming for me, for everyone!
(Outro)
For me, for everyone!
(Music builds to a final, crashing, major key chord)
The debt is paid.
