[Verse 1]
Sitting in my room painting the world
And the kids are not alright
Good England thrown to the wolves
And the lunatics taking over
Heaven I found under my demons
And the smoking gun that you found
Lying on the ground
I'm just sitting painting the world
And the kids are not alright
[Chorus]
When I don't have a choice
That's when I find my voice
I'm not trying to be what you want me to be
I'm not your friend, I'm your Queen
You're quickly losing your scene
I'm not trying to be what you want me to be
Woah (woah woah)
Woah (woah woah)
Woah (woah woah)

Soon I'm out of sight
Howling back
Back at the moon
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just sitting painting the world
And the kids are not alright

When I don't have a choice
That's when I find my voice
I'm not trying to be what you want me to be
I'm not your friend, I'm your Queen
You're quickly losing your scene
I'm not trying to be what you want me to be
Woah (woah woah)
Woah (woah woah)
Woah (woah woah)
Woah
The kids are not alright
Woah (woah woah)
Woah (woah woah)
Woah (woah woah)
Woah (woah woah)
Woah (woah woah)
Woah
The kids are not alright
