lyrics

mum said,
be the best that you can be and
dad said
listen to authority
and i - i was inquisitive

a curious child
curioser by the day
my magic was mild
i was never meant to save the day
but i - i was inquisitive

do what you’re told, millie
don’t be so bold, millie
slytherin stands for certain things
do what you’re told, millie
don’t be so bold, millie
follow the rules, don’t be a fool
i was inquisitive

new teacher came
finally a chance to shine
the inquisitor
she took a like to me and mine
so i - i was inquisitive


a new decree:
different means for different ends
the chosen ones
had always looked down on my friends
so i - i was inquisitive

do what you’re told, millie
don’t be so bold, millie
a slytherin stands for certain things
do what you’re told, millie
don’t be so bold, millie
follow the rules, don’t be a fool
i was inquisitive

caught up in the action, punishing infractions
power can go to your head
suddenly it’s livable, something unforgivable
maybe we should lay low instead
caught up in the action, punishing infractions
power can go to your head
suddenly it’s livable, something unforgivable
maybe we should disband instead

do what you’re told, millie (i fight fists-first)
don’t be so bold, millie (i’ll make it hurt)
a slytherin stands for certain things (is that what you wanted me to be)
do what you’re told, millie (i fight fists-first)
don’t be so bold, millie (i’ll make it hurt)
follow the rules, don’t be a fool (is that what you want from me?)
i was inquisitive

i’m sure there’s a time, oh, but this is no place to be inquisitive
look, i keep making mistakes, but this is how i was shaped,
i was inquisitive

maybe my parents were right,
i'll use my fists when i fight
i was inquisitive
