lyrics:

used to be a major scale
but the melody went stale
musical cacophony let
incy wincy spider free

you're a rich little boy
who's had to work for his toys
you've got all the sensibilities
oh, of an upper class guy

no
no i'm not your little slave
no, i don't twist and turn that way
only got bad things to say

you're always asking what is up, up with me
could never tell you
what happened the day i turned

seventeen
the rise of a king
and the fall of a queen, oh
seventeen
seventeen

oh, you were embarrassed of me
'cause i use my tongue freely
bet you wish i couldn't speak
'cause when i do, you know
i tell you why you appear weak

you want a hassle free life?
go get your upper class wife
she's got all the personality, oh
of a lemon that has been
truly sucked dry

you teach me how to behave
i felt you question the way
i was brought up as a baby
well you don't know fuck about my family

could never tell you
what happened the day i turned

seventeen
the rise of a king
and the fall of a queen, oh
seventeen
oh, seventeen

oh, seventeen
the rise of the king
and the fall of a queen, oh
seventeen
never felt quite like a princess

i used to kid myself in this dress
that it was just how things
were meant to be
oh, seventeen
seventeen
