Your daddy tried to build a kingdom, how random
So you could be a real princess with fandom
Maybe you would even find a prince that's handsome
I bet you really wanted it, bet you threw a tantrum
When daddy said "no," I bet you felt abandoned
Handed in your notice as a daughter, felt stranded
Till he said "Fine, I'll buy you a land. Where do you want it?"
"I want one with sand!"
I know where I'll go, I'll go to Africa
Where even is it? Can I go by car?
I'll hoist my own flag, it'll be magical
Come on, pack your bags, I think it's quite far
Okay, let me put on some mascara
Daddy, maybe I will be a big film star
Aw, if you insist, I'll put Disney on the list
Dad, wait!
Mmmm, I have a faint memory
Of some colonial history
I swear I saw some random documentary
Of something from a distant century
It's something to do with that ancestry
I think that it's some bullshit called "slavery"
"So what are you actually telling me?
That I can't build a kingdom with a nice palm tree?"
I don't think you understand
I just wanna get some land
And build a nice border 'round
Surely it's mine if I'm the one who found it
Don't think you understand
I just wanna get some land
And build a nice border 'round
Surely it's mine if I'm the one who found it
Tina just wants to go to school
What has she done to you?
Why can't she stay at home?
Where she knows what to do
Are you playing us for a fool?
Saying there's not enough room
You must be joking, right?
Cause I don't buy your rules
Now she in a country where she don't know anybody
Do I have to tell you bluntly that your deportation's dumb?
In Österreich geboren und die Leit san halb erfroren
Wie sie sitzn und sich anhorchn müssen
Jetzt winkts ihr noch ein letztes Mal zu
Our honorary people in blue
She's really not the problem, it's you
Sie hat die gleichen Rechte wie du!
But I already gave Disney a call
And they said they gon' make a film of it all
It's only a tiny sweet kingdom, so small
I don't think they'll notice I took it at all
Daddy, I don't think we can do that
This might be a stupid plan we had
I'd rather just get a big penthouse flat
In London or Paris, and get a cat
"I'll buy you whatever you want, my sweet
Cause you are my princess, sweet honeybee
Let's go to Japan on a shopping spree
Cause borders mean nothing to rich folk like me"
I don't think you understand
I just wanna get some land
And build a nice border 'round
Surely it's mine if I'm the one who found it
Don't think you understand
I just wanna get some land
And build a nice border 'round
Surely it's mine if I'm the one who found it
What is it with humans building walls
Shutting others out and all
If you were born here then you're allowed
But if you don't look it or sound it, you're out
If you were born here but too poor and queer
You can't get the citizenship my dear
Even if it's been twenty eight years
If you have no money, it's over, dear
Daddy, I want a castle
I thought you got it
For me already
Mama, ich will nach Hause
Wann können wir denn
Wieder heim?
