Helen of Troy - Lorde

Hey, hey
I've heard it all before
One minute I was killing 'em all
And the next a brown suit wouldn't let me perform, ah
Typical

So I took a happy face and it's coming on like a charm
I don't wanna get lost, I wanna worship the sun
If you want, you can come

I'm in my own little golden age
But it's such a pill when they don't appreciate
So when you smoke that cigarette
Or when you talk sh_t 'bout an old friend
I know it's hard but do your best
Give yourself a break, have a little faith
Let's hear it for the girls
Living in the modern world

The banging on the door
Everyone please make way for the girl who looks like she flew in from outer space, yesterday, eh
I think I waited out
My little thing is keeping 'em keen
And they could be drinking with you, but they'll be looking at me
This whole time I've been playing it coy
The city's falling for me, just like I'm Helen of Troy, ah

So when you're broke and get ahead
Or when you take it out on your boyfriend
I know it's hard but do your best
Give yourself a break, have a little faith
Let's hear it for the girls
Living in the modern world

Give yourself a break, have a little faith
Let's hear it for the girls
Living in the modern world
Let's hear it for the girls
Living in the modern world (Living in the modern world)
