Lyrics
This is my world
Welcome, I guess
Thanks to my parents It's sort of a mess
They've been on edge
Stomping about
Try to approach 'em They'll snarl or lash out
Sure, woo-hoo, I'm a princess
Still, my life's not ideal
There's a few flaws, mainly because Both of my parents are monsters
Like, actual monsters
For real!
Only last year
Things were less weird
Then out of nowhere A darkness appeared
Suddenly, boom!
Something just burst
When it was over My parents were cursed
As for how we can cure them
That's still under dispute
But it's been strange Since the big change
Seeing my parents as monsters
Impossible monsters to boot
Now, you may think That yours are high-strung
Thoughtless and rude
Overdramatic, erratic, unglued
Stubborn as mules
Pains in the rear
But mine are so far past the line
That sometimes I could practically swear
They're hardly aware I'm here
Such a sweet girl
Such a hard lot
Still, she's been coping Despite you-know-what
Never complains
Never upset
Under that smile, though She's struggling, I'll bet
She's the calm and mature one
While her folks go berserk
Having their backs - Hiding their cracks
Knowing her parents are monsters
And covering for monsters
It's work
And meanwhile There were papers to sign
Troops to inspect
Meetings galore to restore What's been wrecked
People to help Laws to decree
And true There's tons I'd rather do
But someone's gotta answer the call
And "someone" is always me
It would be nice
For just a day
To deal with parents Who are bossy or nosy
Strict would be fine
Annoying? Sure, okay
But all that mine do for me Is pretty much ignore me
And let me say It's the worst
Anyway, this is my life
It has been all year
Under a shadow that won't disappear
Everyone's tense
Tempers are high
But I've been dealing Well, leastways I try
It's my job to stay hopeful
Till we're through this somehow
Frankly, I know that even though They are behaving like monsters
Angry and wild Easily riled
Ranting and raving like monsters
Somewhere inside Under that hide
Those are my parents Not monsters
I'm sure they're not monsters
I know they're not monsters
But, boy, are they monsters
Right now
Welcome, I guess
Thanks to my parents It's sort of a mess
They've been on edge
Stomping about
Try to approach 'em They'll snarl or lash out
Sure, woo-hoo, I'm a princess
Still, my life's not ideal
There's a few flaws, mainly because Both of my parents are monsters
Like, actual monsters
For real!
