World Burn Lyrics by Nell Benjamin

REGINA

My name is Regina George
And I am a massive deal
I will grind you to sand
Beneath my Louboutin-ed heel
This is what I get for helping
Helping someone lame fit in
Cady Heron, enjoy your temporary win

My name is Regina George
“Regina is a fugly cow.”
Hey Cady, how ya like me now?

I wanna watch the world burn, I got the gasoline
I wanna watch the world burn, and ev’ryone get mean
I wanna watch the world burn, I got the gasoline
I wanna watch the world burn, and ev’ryone get mean
