You're a rich little boy
Who's had to work for his toys
You've got all the sensibilities
Of an upper class guy

(same chords as verse 1)
Oh, you are embarrassed of me
Cos I use my tongue freely
Bet you wish I couldn't speak
Cos when I do, you know
I tell you why you're being weak
You want a hassle free life
Go get your upper class wife
Oh, she's got all the personality
Of a lemon that has been
Truly sucked dry
You teach me how to behave
I felt you question the way
I was brought up as a baby
Well you don't know fuck about my family
Could never tell you what happened
The day I turned seventeen
The rise of a king and the fall of a queen
Seventeen, seventeen
CNever fell Gdown like a Amprincess
CI used to kGid myself inAm this stress
CThat it wasG just how thFings
CWere meaGnt to Ambe
COh, seveGnteenAm, sevCentGeeAmn.
(original last verse)
Never fell down like a princess
But at least I picked myself up like a queen
