When We Are Queen
[Verse 1]
There will be more dancing
And less worrying
And more singing
And less hurrying
But everything will still get done on time (I don't see how)
[Verse 2]
There will be all the money in the world (Yay)
Or none of all the money in the world (Boo)
You see, we'll just go to a kiosk at the side of the road
And arrange for however much we want per week (What?)
We can choose to be rich (Yeah) or poor (Boo)
And we can change it anytime we like
[Chorus]
When we are queen
When we are queen
[Verse 3]
There will be no frustration
Just temples at the side of the mountain path
And anyone who is out of balance will be attended to
By workers who will teach them how to pull it up their spine
Until finally they spout (Spout what?) poetry
(Won't that be a lot of poetry?)
[Verse 4]
There will be no signs saying, "You can't do this"
And no signs saying, "You can't do that"
We'll be guided by common sense
(Common sense?) You ask
(What's so common about that?)
Perhaps it is simply a reflection
Of the movement of the planets and the stars
[Bridge]
(Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye, hear ye)
This queendom shall be invisible (Hey, down in front)
(Down in front, down)
Neither male nor female in spite of its name
Full of undulating light (Huh? Get the dictionary)
And the faint scent of jasmine (What about the roses)
And rose (Why not?)
But most importantly, most importantly shall be—
Who? (Shall be what? Shall be what?)
Tell them I'll call them back (What?)
[Chorus]
When we are queen
When we are queen
[Verse 5]
There will be more happiness
So people will look better in photographs
I don't mean happy-happy all the time
(Happy happy happy happy)
Perhaps it'll just be an absence of being afraid of fear (Huh?)
And definitely there will be no homework for kids (Yay! Whoo!)
I thought you'd like that
[Verse 6]
It will be more about giving
And less about getting
And farmers, teachers, and nurses
Will be returned to their honoured place in society
And all the windows will open for obvious reasons
[Chorus]
When we are queen
When we are queen
When we are queen
When we are queen (There will be)
When we are queen (There will be)
When we are queen (There will be)
When we are queen (There will be)
When we are queen (There will be)
When we are queen (There will be)
When we are queen
When we are queen
When we are queen
When we are queen
When we are queen
When we are queen
When we are queen
When we are queen
