The streets are paved with gold
Better show them what you've got
Mares here never get old
In a town called Canterlot
But best do what you're told
You've got a rep to keep
Gotta bluff or else you'll fold
'Cause the uptown never sleeps
So say "Please and Thank You"
"It's so nice to see you"
Back in line, scream at you now
Spare me your pleasantries
They don't mean shit to me
Don't mean shit to me
You got something to say
Well, spit it out
But watch your tongue
I'm not just anyone
No, no, no
Starting to see the cracks
Those lights aren't what you thought
The way the crowd reacts
Different in Canterlot
The friends that you made here
Don't shine so brightly now
You've scratched through the veneer
Do you talk or fight it out
The high and the mighty
The blood of authority
The wolves are at the door now
(The wolves are at the door)
Spare me your pleasantries
They don't mean shit to me
Don't mean shit to me
You got something to say
Well, spit it out
But watch your tongue
I'm not just anyone
No, no, no
♪
They all say they're proud of me
But it's a conspiracy
It's all I can do to say
They've lost their sincerity
Ironic that Rarity
Would speak about transparency
I know that I ask a lot
I beg you listen to me
It's too much to take in
The lies and the faking
I dreamt of this place, but now
Reek of hypocrisy
Don't say what I want to hear
Make your intentions clear
Fuck every word you say
'Cause I know that you need to lie
Just look me in the eye, yeah
Spare me your pleasantries
They don't mean shit to me
Don't mean shit to me
You got something to say
Well, spit it out
But watch your tongue
I'm not just anyone
No, no, no
