Golden Age

Circe was divine

A tale of pearls before the swine

An empress

A brilliant sorceress

And then the lover scorned

And that's how the story's told

Hold the rest, they stole the magic (they stole the magic)

And Sita's archetype

The perfect image of a wife

Did we ignore, the fire in her soul?

Remember Amy's plea

I know that poets disagree

When it comes to love

Do we even have control?

They think they know us

Because they wrote the history books

Here's to the woman (woman)

Who don't ever seem to get a say

In how their pages get portrayed

Here's to the woman (woman)

Who know everything the poets say

And be a menace anyway

The historians who looked away

The game was set before it played

We're breaking out behind the cage

'Cause that's some shit that we won't take

The women

Who wrote the stories in the roads they paved

We're bringing back their golden age

This is our golden age

A pretty penny prize

Without a thought behind the eyes

Don't get a say

It's in our DNA (it's in the DNA)

'Cause they refuse to see beyond commodities

We can be sweet with a vicious streak

Call that dichotomy

They think they own us

But now we're taking back the history books (ah-ah)

Here's to the woman (woman)

Who don't ever seem to get a say

In how their pages get portrayed (portrayed)

Here's to the woman (woman)

Who know everything the poets say

And be a menace anyway (yeah)

The historians who looked away

The game was set before it played

We're breaking out behind the cage

'Cause that's some shit that we won't take

The woman

Who wrote stories in the roads they paved

We're bringing back their golden age (oh)

Queens wear more than just their crowns

They keep castles from crumbling down

Yeah, you can't keep us on the ground

We're coming for your kingdom now

Queens wear more than just their crowns (crowns)

They keep castles from crumbling down (crumbling down)

Yeah, you can't keep us on the ground (on the ground)

We're coming for your kingdom now
