Hard, Glossy Armor

from Peaches and Plums by Lauren Fairweather

about

Inspired by a scene in The Magicians Season 4 Episode 10, told from Margo's perspective.

lyrics

My Dad taught me
I could be anything when I was a kid
But be loud or pissed off
And the world shot back
“Who does she think she is”

He saw what he raised
A woman he could no longer control
Who didn’t seek approval
Nothing deadlier to the fragile male ego

Put my hard, glossy armor on
Step back
I’ve got my hard, glossy armor on

Chorus:
I’m not a goddamn princess
I’m a king and no less
King of I can’t do this
High King of He Was Right
King of manipulation
King who ruins everything
King of pointless rage
Who’s not giving up this fight

I’m angry every second
My eyes are open cause I’m forced to see
That I know who I am
And I’m not what I am pretending to be

I always hit first
And if they hit back they learn I can’t be touched
Under all this armor
I’m here wondering why does it hurt so much

With my hard glossy armor on
Step back,
I’ve got my hard glossy armor on

Chorus

Here goes, I’ve got my hard glossy armor on
Step back, I’ve got my hard glossy armor on
Yeah I’ve still got my hard glossy armor on
Watch out, I’ve got my hard glossy armor on

I’m not a goddamn princess
I’m a king and no less
King of I can do this
High King of step aside

King of befriending demons
King of getting shit done
King of hitting home runs
I’m gonna be just fine

King of forging axes
King of kicking asses
King’s collecting taxes
Back off, you’ve crossed the line

King of helping women
King of breaking your plans
I’m taking you down
And I’m taking back what is mine
