[Verse 1] A queen sits on her iron throne As people fall and kneel before her Powerful, cruel and clever is she Her name will lie in history [Pre-Chorus] As the baddest of the bad She’s cruel (cruel) She’s mean (mean) She’s a tyrant (a tyrant) But no one knows her name [Chorus] Knows her name Knows her name She takes advantage of the poor, weak Citizens of her kingdom And steals their only mouthful of bread The rich stand at her side But only out of fear And hate [Verse 2] A queen sits on her throne Cold hands on gold and bone Power in her quiet grin Everybody bows to win [Pre-Chorus] As the baddest of the bad She’s cruel (very cruel) She’s mean (extremely mean) She’s a tyrant (a nasty tyrant) But no one knows her name [Chorus] Knows her name Knows her name She takes advantage of the poor, weak Citizens of her kingdom And steals their only mouthful of bread The rich stand at her side But only out of fear And hate [Bridge] Let her crown turn black Let the lies come back History keeps the scars Still no one knows who you are [Final Chorus] Knows her name Knows her name She takes advantage of the poor, weak Citizens of her kingdom And steals their only mouthful of bread The rich stand at her side But only out of fear And hate
