lyrics

Verse 1
I am not a pretty girl
Ignore the rocks in my shoes
Made from leather stolen from
Forced labor in Indonesia
Hook
I’m one in a million
For a dollar a day
I’ll tell no one
Verse 2
I am not a quiet girl
I scream at the crack of a whip
Forty acres and a mule
Still waiting for reparations
I am a defiant girl
Brand me with your initials
You’ll remember my name (name)
Even when I’m skittish and feral
Repeat Hook
A rare diamond is red like blood
Bridge
We are the criminals
So hypocritical
Playing god with every third-world civilian
Rapists and murderers
Pillagers voyagers
Corporate exploiters for massive consumption
The stones on our necks
And the ones on our screens
Are the ones that we need
To go live on TV
To present to the world that we’re glamorous
Amorous
A million girls would kill for the job that
A million girls have died for
To die for to die for
Oh, it’s to die for
It’s to die for
To die for
To die for
Repeat Hook
Outro
I’m one in a million
A rare diamond is red like blood
It’s our secret
I’ll tell no one
