Magical Girls

We were special, we were joyful, we were different, we were young
We were misfit village kids when all was said and done
We were sapphic, we slept over, we were magic, we were close
And I knew you first, even if they know you most
Turns out that your teenage dream’s an awful place to age in
Prfer image to reality, I can’t say I blam him
I’m not afraid of anything except for being human
I’d rather die a magic girl than live as a woman
I want to change the world I want the world to go away
It’s an unseemly way for a grown woman to behave
If you’re well adjusted, you don’t believe in justice
I’m well adjusted, so tell me where’s the justice?
We have strength that they can’t see
Life wasn’t kind but our friendship is real
We can make a difference, shine in our magnificence
Even in a disappointing world
Keep on fighting cos we’re magical girls
Pink hair as pathology, denial of reality
I don’t want my body with all of its processes
Long limbed, glowing skin, big eyed goddesses
Time and passions rage, losing powers as we age
I want to change the world, I want to stay inside all day
It’s an unseemly way for a grown woman to behave
OK, I’m well adjusted, so tell me where’s the justice
I’m maladjusted and I believe in justice
We have strength that they can’t see
Life wasn’t kind but our friendship is real
We can make a difference, shine in our magnificence
Even in a disappointing world
Keep on fighting cos we’re magical girls
The world is unfair and yet
I never did quite forget
How it feels to hope, I’m so surprised
I still believe after all this time
We’re stronger than we know my dear old friend
And it seems that the world needs our magic again
We have strength that they can’t see
Life wasn’t kind but our friendship is real
We can make a difference, shine in our magnificence
Even in a disappointing world
Keep on fighting cos we’re magical girls
