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
