Picking Up My Crown

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
