Alternate Realities by Round Trip Lyrics
[Intro: Twilight Sparkle]
So I'm a princess… am I right for this job?
I guess it all depends
I’ve got my pros and cons, but why'd they choose me?
They could've picked literally any of my friends
They also have their strengths and weaknesses
They have admirable qualities
I can’t help but imagine what things might be like
In alternate realities
[Verse 1: Rainbow Dash]
I'm Princess Rainbow Dash
And I've got loads of princess cash
My reign is gonna last
'Til I eventually get bored
But that'll be quite hard
Because my royal guard
Is fearless 'cause I've armed
Them all with magic laser swords
I don't waste time, so if you wanna feel alive
Then I highly suggest you ride the new high-speed Friendship Express
And all your mail will arrive from anywhere in 45 minutes of less
[Verse 2: Rarity]
I’m Princess Rarity
Look how I stylishly
Enact my policies
To make sure everypony’s fine
And all Equestria knows
As the economy grows
We'll give out fabulous clothes
But none more glamorous than mine
I use my store business knowledge and know-how for this
Mining gems helps us afford the sleekest homes and latest tech
And to keep you ponies gorgeous, you all get a big enormous bonus check
[Verse 3: Fluttershy]
I’m Princess Fluttershy
Thank you for stopping by
I'm here to always try
To do the very best I can
I'm conquering my shyness
Just to spread some kindness
But why they call me highness
I will never understand
It's who I am to help my friends across the land
By making nests and burrows and a bunch of natural preserves
’Cause a home that's safe and grand is just what each and every animal deserves
[Chorus 1: Twilight Sparkle]
They gave me a crown
But I have to disagree with the message that it sends
I'm not any stronger or more qualified
Than any of my friends
I can't help but imagine
What alternate realities might have been
Someday I'll find a way
To be okay with the one I'm living in
Someday I'll find a way
To be okay with the one I'm living in
[Verse 4: Applejack]
I'm Princess Applejack
And I know for a fact
I've always got y'all's back
Until the universe explodes
New infrastructure's comin'
To keep businesses runnin'
So I'm fixin' all the plumbing
And repairin' all the roads
Now Apple Bloom is technically royalty too
She gets a super awesome room just like Big Mac and Granny Smith
And this here magic horn, who knew?
I tell ya, it's one handy tool to build stuff with
[Verse 5: Pinkie Pie]
I'm Princess Pinkie Pie
And if you're wondering why
There's glitter in the sky
It's 'cause I think it's really cool
It's Friday all the time
All legislation has to rhyme
My throne is made of slime
And Gummy's in the castle pool
This is terrific, palace food is sugarrific
The cupcakes, to be specific, helped us win an epic war
So I'm staying optimistic that my chefs will bake significantly more, more, more
[Bridge: Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Shining Armor, Trixie, Coco Pommel, Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, & Twilight Sparkle]
I'm Princess Starlight Glimmer
Princess Sunset Shimmer
Princess Shining Armor?
Princess Trixie Lulamoon
Princess Coco Pommel
I'm Princess Sweetie Belle
And Apple Bloom as well
And also Princess Scootaloo
Princess Cheerilee, Princess Rara
Princess Spike, and Princess Babs
And Princess Diamond Tiara
Princess mom and princess dad
Princess, princess, princess, princess
Princess, princess, princess, princess
Princess, princess, princess, princess
Princess, princess, princess
[Pre-Chorus: Rarity, Pinkie Pie, & Twilight Sparkle]
Twilight, you're the leader we admire
Who protects, serves, and defends
You're really good, but if you ever need advice
You can always call up any of your friends (Thanks guys)
[Chorus 2: Twilight Sparkle]
It's fun to imagine what these
Alternate realities might have been
But hey, I gotta say
I'm okay with the one I'm living in
But hey, I gotta say
I'm okay with the one I'm living in
[Outro: Twilight Sparkle]
But what the hay, I gotta say
I'll be more or less okay
With the one I'm living in
So I'm a princess… am I right for this job?
I guess it all depends
I’ve got my pros and cons, but why'd they choose me?
They could've picked literally any of my friends
They also have their strengths and weaknesses
