lyrics

Stepmom
Queen
Witch

The Brothers Grimm
Wanted to do us in
Their stories are a little shady
You can decide
When you hear our side
If they’re threatened by a strong lady

Cause we’re not damsels in distress who
Have a prince come to the rescue
We don’t sing with the birds
Or get dressed by a mouse
If you’re a stepmom or a queen
They say, I’ve heard she’s pretty mean
If you’re a witch
They eat your house

This is not a villain song
Cause we did nothing wrong
Unless you count being strong
No, we won’t apologize
For being tough and wise
We may have caused some upheaval
But powerful is different than evil


The Brothers Grimm thought I was sooo wicked
For trying to keep Cinderella home from the ball
But let me tell you something
They did not see how messy her room was, OK
There was a woodland creature infestation in there
Yeah, and I once tried to give the Brothers Grimm an apple
As a peace offering
And they claimed it was poisoned
Can you believe it

I can, because one day I caught them snacking on my house
And they called me a witch.
You…are a witch.
That’s beside the point!


The Brothers Grimm
That’s enough about them
Cause we’re writing our own chapter
It’s time you heard
From us in our own words
Baby, we control our ever after

They judge the way we’re parenting ‘em
And the way we rule the kingdom
But their point of view is skewed
They focus on our errors
Missing shoes and magic mirrors
Building houses out of food
That one was a mistake

This is not a villain song
Cause we did nothing wrong
Unless you count being strong
No, we won’t apologize
For being tough and wise
We may have caused some upheaval
But powerful is different than evil

Our voices are loud
We know how we come across
But we stand proud
And we’re gonna show you who’s boss

This is not a villain song
Cause we did nothing wrong
Unless you count being strong
No, we won’t apologize
For being tough and wise
Can’t wait to show you the sequel
Cuz powerful is different than evil

Hey, you wanna go snack on my house?
You complained about that the whole song.
It’s different among friends
Ooooh
