Picking Up My Crown

[Verse]
I treated you just like a queen 
And you treated me like a fool 
You expected me to bough down
Like I was someone to rule

[Verse]
You always act like royalty 
And I’m the jester in your court 
You took pleasure in my pain 
Like it was your favorite sport 

[Verse]. 
But I’m throwing down this scepter 
And I’m picking up my crown 
It’s time for me to be the king
And you’re just a peasant now

[Chorus]
While you enjoyed your feast 
I was expected to eat cake
You were too busy having it all
To realize what was at stake 
You always looked down on me
From up in your ivory tower 
Well your castle’s about to fall
Because now I have the power 
So prepare to kiss the ring
As I sit upon this throne 
The time has come for you to bough
Or be banished to live alone 

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse]
It’s time for me to take over
Your rule has come to an end 
You can call me Henry the eighth 
And you’re cut off like Ann Boleyn 

[Verse]
You can call it revolution 
Or you can call it a coup 
But just know your reign is over 
And there’s nothing you can do 

[Chorus]
While you enjoyed your feast 
I was expected to eat cake
You were too busy having it all
To realize what was at stake 
You always looked down on me
From up in your ivory tower 
Well your castle’s about to fall
Because now I have the power 
So prepare to kiss the ring
As I sit upon this throne 
The time has come for you to bough
Or be banished to live alone 

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Your monarchy has fallen 
There’s an uprising at your gate
Don’t you try and sign a treaty 
Because the time is just too late 

[Chorus]
While you enjoyed your feast 
I was expected to eat cake
You were too busy having it all
To realize what was at stake 
You always looked down on me
From up in your ivory tower 
Well your castle’s about to fall
Because now I have the power 
So prepare to kiss the ring
As I sit upon this throne 
The time has come for you to bough
Or be banished to live alone 

[Final Chorus]
While you enjoyed your feast 
I was expected to eat cake
You were too busy having it all
To realize what was at stake 
You always looked down on me
From up in your ivory tower 
Well your castle’s about to fall
Because now I have the power 
So prepare to kiss the ring
As I sit upon this throne 
The time has come for you to bough
Or be banished to live alone
