IN RUINING EVERYTHING
(Inspired by the song, The Last Great American Dynasty)
A sunny day
On an island sat
A story that may
Have been forgotten,
Remembered by some,
Or still even known by many
A middle-class divorcé,
Her name's Rebekah
And an heir of money
And Standard Oil, named Bill
Kept the town thinking,
"How did she do it?"
Their charming wedding
Was a little gauche
But that only goes far-
As new money goes
So they soon went
And bought a new home
They had it picked out
And had it named
As "Holiday House"
And then people say,
"There goes the last greatness
Of an American Dynasty"
Their loud tasteful parties
And his too much habits
Had his doc telling him
To settle himself down
It might've been her fault
His heart soon gave out
If she never showed up
Who would know?
What could've been?
If she was never seen
Having a marvelous time
In ruining everything
Rebekah gave up
On the Rhode Island set
For what seemed like -
Forever as she flew
All her friends from the city
She calls her Bitch Pack Friends
Her champagne-filled pool
Swam with the big names
That might sound cool
With all the money
That she had blown
With the ballet & boys
And soon it was known
She lost some card game bets
With a man named Dali
And there she goes
As the maddest woman
This town has ever seen
Some people say
She's seen on occasion
Sat quietly on the beach
Pacing down the rocks
And staring at the vast
Of the midnight sea
And some would say
She once had a feud
With her neighbor
That one time -
As she stole his dog
And dyed it key lime green
50 years has been
A long time since
Holiday House sat quietly
On that same beach
Free of women with madness
And men with their habits
Time flew by and soon came
When it was bought -
By the loudest woman
This town has ever seen
That goes by the name
Of Taylor Alison Swift
Who would know?
If she never showed up
What could have been?
As people would say
She had a marvelous time
In ruining everything
What a marvelous time
Indeed she did have
In ruining everything
People thought everything
Painting her as someone mad
When she isn't someone bad
For some people think
Everything on a simple drink
They haven't even tried
As if knowing someone
Could ever be easy as reading
Something out of a magazine
A marvelous time
In ruining everything
Has built something
That lasts forever like a page -
Told out of a history book
Countless times until it gets too old
