[Intro] [Four snare count-in, palm-muted guitar riff, punchy bass, tight hi-hat] Okay, so apparently Diamonds are a girl's best friend... Um, no. Have you even seen an opal? [Verse 1] [Tight palm-muted guitars, driving kick and snare, bass locked to guitar] They say diamonds are a girl's best friend Okay, but who started that rumor again? They're shiny and clear, yeah, I get the appeal But honestly, girl, where's the personality? Put me in front of a jewelry case I'll skip right past the classic display Give me something colorful, weird, and bright Something that changes when it catches the light [Pre-Chorus] [Open power chords, melodic guitar fills, rising bass] I don't need perfect I need a little attitude If I'm gonna wear a rock It's gotta look as fun as me and you [Chorus] [Full distorted guitars, octave lead hook, crashing cymbals, layered harmonies] Diamonds aren't a girl's best friend I'm saying it loud, I'm saying it again Give me opals, give me turquoise Give me something that makes some noise Diamonds can sparkle, that's totally fine But have you seen these colors dance in mine? Blue, green, gold, flashing like a dream That's the kind of pretty that gets my attention It's glitter, glitter, everywhere In my jacket, shoes, and hair If it shines and makes a scene Then it's probably meant for me [Verse 2] [Palm-muted guitars, melodic bass runs, snappy snare, lead guitar hammer-ons] Turquoise has that matrix running through Every little pattern's got a different view No two pieces wanna play the same Which honestly makes them cooler by name And opals? Oh my gosh, don't even start That little stone basically stole my heart It flashes blue, then green, then gold Like somebody put a rainbow in a tiny hole My friends want diamonds I just shrug and say "That's adorable, babe But I'm going another way" [Pre-Chorus] [Open guitars, tom accents, rising bass] I don't need flawless I like the things that make it unique Give me something with a story Something nobody else can quite repeat [Chorus] [Full band, doubled guitars, octave lead, crash cymbals] Diamonds aren't a girl's best friend I'm saying it loud, I'm saying it again Give me opals, give me turquoise Give me something that makes some noise Diamonds can sparkle, that's totally fine But have you seen these colors dance in mine? Blue, green, gold, flashing like a dream That's the kind of pretty that gets my attention It's glitter, glitter, everywhere In my jacket, shoes, and hair If it shines and makes a scene Then it's probably meant for me [Spoken Break] [Band drops to muted clean guitar, bass, light tambourine] Okay, quick geology fact... Opals are made mostly from silica and water, and tiny silica spheres inside the stone diffract light, creating those famous flashes of color. So basically... They're tiny organized disco balls. [Beat] And honestly? Respect. [Full band crashes back in] [Bridge] [Half-time drums, ringing guitars, melodic bass] Maybe that's why I like them They don't all look the same A little strange, a little different And nobody can take that away 'Cause perfect isn't always interesting And different doesn't mean it's wrong Sometimes the thing that stands apart Is the one you remember all along [Build] [Snare rolls, rising guitar riff, bass climb, gang vocals] Oh-oh! Keep the sparkle! Oh-oh! Keep the weird! Oh-oh! If it catches light Bring it over here! [Final Chorus] [Full band maximum energy, layered guitars, huge harmonies] Diamonds aren't a girl's best friend I'm saying it loud, I'm saying it again Give me opals, give me turquoise Give me something that makes some noise Diamonds can sparkle, that's totally fine But have you seen these colors dance in mine? Blue, green, gold, flashing like a dream That's the kind of pretty that gets my attention It's glitter, glitter, everywhere In my jacket, shoes, and hair If it shines and makes a scene Then it's probably meant for me Diamonds aren't a girl's best friend Nope, I'm not changing my mind again Give me a stone with a little surprise Give me those colors when they catch my eyes [Outro] [Fast guitar riff, rapid kick and snare, playful guitar slides] Opals! [Gang vocals: OPALS!] Turquoise! [Gang vocals: TURQUOISE!] Diamonds? [Full band cuts] They're cute. [Single snare hit] But they're not my best friend! [Full band crashes back in] [Final shouted vocal] GLITTER RIOT! [Huge guitar chord and cymbal crash]
