[Verse 1]
C F G C
I was a humble student, and essays were my trade,
F C G
Inside a giant tree with all the bugs is where I stayed.
C F G C
Every day a parable, a lesson to learn from
F C G C
About the vaguest subjects, oh, my work was never done!
Am D
Every scrap of knowledge was concepted on the fly
Am G
The context would be infinite but still I would scrape by!
Am D
How I would apply this stuff I simply never knew
Am G
But that's the kind of thing that every student must go through!
[Pre-chorus]
F F C
But Disney sold us princesses to little girls in awe,
G
So I exploded, then I died, and now I am a god!
[Chorus]
C C F C G
So now it's rise (up)! Live (long)! I'm forging brand new lands!
F C G
I don't know what I'm doing but I'm birthing life from sands!
C C F C G
And now it's yes (lord)! Thank (you)! I've got myself a throne!
F C G
I got a pretty hat and now I'm ruling the unknown!
(Repeat the first half of the chorus without lyrics once, then play C for two measures.)
[Verse 2]
C F G C
I guess since I'm a princess and a brand new deity
F C G
I should perform some miracles or place some minds at ease
C F G C
But I never had a plan for this, much to my dismay,
F C G C
So I'll just tell my subjects that it all will be okay!
Am D
I don't know what the masses want, I haven't got a clue
Am G
I'm really quite reclusive if I frankly must be true
Am D
But in order to push plastic, seems there is no other way
Am G
I just hope my undying fans won't find themselves betrayed!
[Chorus]
C C F C G
So now it's rise (up)! Live (long)! I'm forging brand new lands!
F C G
I don't know what I'm doing but I'm birthing life from sands!
C C F C G
And now it's yes (lord)! Thank (you)! I've got myself a throne!
F C G
I got a pretty hat and now I'm ruling the unknown!
[Verse 3]
C F G C
So all the rules of goddessing are different than I've thought
F C G
I've got to talk to others and they make me leave my spot
C F G C
I've got a list of problems and it stretches twenty miles
F C G C
But when I travel down the street they make me wave and smile
Am D
For what it's worth this princess thing is not all that I dreamed
Am G
It seems like pushing all this tripe is just a crooked scheme
Am D
But they gave me godly powers whether not I was composed
Am G
Well I'm just hoping we'll find that we aren't completely hosed!
[Chorus]
C C F C G
So now it's rise (up)! Live (long)! I'm forging brand new lands!
F C G
I don't know what I'm doing but I'm birthing life from sands!
C C F C G
And now it's yes (lord)! Thank (you)! I've got myself a throne!
F C G
I got a pretty hat and now I'm ruling the unknown!
[Verse 4]
C F G C
I guess I must admit I wasn't really quite prepared
F C G
And things have not exactly gone to quite as I've declared
C F G C
In times to come I guess that maybe will they will look ahead
F C G C
And not drop godly powers on ungodly ponies' heads!
Am D
Yet I must confess that there is one last thing to write
Am G
Because I've learned a lesson and I think it's very bright
Am D
If something seems successful just be thankful for what's there
Am G
And don't cause everyone to scream and pull out all their hair!
