Mean Girls

No one else is as pretty as me.

You can’t compare to my beauty.

My lips are red as rose,

my hair so golden it glows.

No one else is as pretty as me. 

You can’t compare to my beauty. 

 

Athena may have beauty

But can she control boys like me?

The boys stop and stare.

Can you blame them for lusting after my flair?

Athena may have beauty

But can she control boys like me?

 

I walk the halls and heads all roll

Athena doesn’t seduce a soul.

Medusa, me, is in control.

 

That Medusa should get with Narcissus, 

With an attitude like that she’ll never be a missus. 

Medusa is beyond vain.

All her gloating, I wish she would just abstain.

That Medusa should get with Narcissus 

With an attitude like that she’ll never be a missus

 

Medusa keeps thinking she better than me.

But I’ll show her farther from the truth that couldn’t be.

Her hair is her crown

and thus the best way to take her down.

Medusa keeps thinking she better than me

But I’ll show her farther from the truth that couldn’t be.

 

When she walks the halls she thinks heads all roll.

She thinks that Athena, me, couldn’t seduce a soul. 

But I’ll show Medusa who is in control. 

 

My hair! What on earth has happened?

It used to shine but now it’s darkened.

I just know that Athena has something to do with this.

She has no clue what she’s in for. She’ll surely be remiss.

My hair! What on earth has happened?

It used to shine but now it’s darkened.

 

Who would want to be with me now?

My crown of gold is brown as a cow

Athena will rue the day

That she decided to mess with me. 

Who would want to be with me now?

My crown of gold is brown as a cow

 

I used walk the halls and heads would roll

Athena didn’t ever seduce a soul.

Medusa, me, used to be in control.

 

I knocked that Medusa down a peg

The prideful girl will now have to beg.

To beg to me for any boys

They’re all now my toys

I knocked that Medusa down a peg

The prideful girl will now have to beg.

 

I’m in charge and I call the shots.

Medusa and her friends are all just thots.

I rule these halls.

All the boys answer my calls.

I’m in charge and I call the shots.

Medusa and her friends are all just thots.

 

I walk the halls and heads all roll.

She thought that Athena, me, couldn’t seduce a soul. 

But I’ve shown Medusa who is in control.
