Today’s inspiration comes from a very simple question asked by sally-okay:
Knowledge or wealth?
I’m not sure that I’ve answered “knowledge”, but I definitely said no to wealth…at least for the situation I imagined. I know that most girls in my life wish they were a Disney Princess. I’ve always thought that life didn’t seem as great as the movie’s make it out to be. My song shares my reasoning. Enjoy!
A Princess problem
Well, you were born
with your nose in the air.
Gifted pretty dresses
and golden hair.
But I know your secret,
the one you’ve never told:
You’d trade in all those dollars
just to know:
That you’re loved for being you,
and not for your dowry;
that you’re loved for being you,
and not for your wealth.
Suitors come to you,
like moths to a flame.
No, they come to you,
like gamblers to a game.
They want a taste
from that silver spoon.
The one that’s choked you
and left you so blue.
CHORUS
Well, yours is a Princess problem,
one of the First World.
But privilege can’t dull the pains
of a sad girl.
You’ve had everything
except for the one thing you want:
a good man
that you can trust…
CHORUS
