Lyrics
(Yeah)
Cut off the bottoms of my feet
Make me walk on salt
Take me down to the police
Charge me with assault
A smile on her face
She does what she wants to me

That's right and
She don't care what kind of wounds she's inflicted on me
She don't care what color bruises that she's leavin' on me
'Cuz she's got freedom in the 21st century
(Alright)

(Listen)
Two black gadgets in her hands
All she thinks about
No responsibility no guilt or morals
Cloud of judgement
Smile on her face
She does what she damn well please

(Right)
And she don't care what kind of things people used to do
She don't care that what she does has an effect on you
She's got freedom in the 21st century

Cut off the bottoms of my feet (Cut off the bottoms of my feet)
Make me walk on salt (Make me walk on salt)
Take me down to the police (Take me down to the police)

WOW. You really made this song WORK, and the editing was inspired and just, this is a really great The White Queen vid!

[cupidsbow]

I haven't seen this source, but wow, that's a great snapshot of the War of the Roses (I assume). Lovely editing choices, really evoking the era of blood and roses.

[pensnest]

*applause* I'm part-way through watching the series at the moment, this really resonates.

[mresundance]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS IS AMAZEBALLS. I totally fanboyed over the first half with Margaret and Henry (MARGARET IS KINDA MY FAVORITE)and then I LOVED how you paralleled Elizabeth and Margaret and their children just ksdjdlfjksajkfj and the use of the historical source. And the song. And the ending. JUST. YES. THIS VID. THIS. \o/ Even Warwick can (resentfully) approve.

[falena]

This is really brilliant. Everything from the song choice to your editing was really superb.

[echan]

This song was an unexpected style/energy but you completely sold me on it. Very cool vid, strong and dramatic.

[condnsdmlk]

Really enjoyed this! Loved the parallels and use of rose imagery - brilliant.

[chaila]

Awesome! I never did get around to watching this show, but this vid sells it. Epic political ladies! The overlays and stuttery cuts work so well to make connections.

[wealhtheow]

I didn't watch or read The White Queen, but this vid tells so much that I didn't feel I needed to. In a lesser vidder's hands the rose imagery could have felt forced, but it absolutely works here. Absolutely great editing to the music, also!

[thirdblindmouse]

Very beautifully edited!

[usuallyhats]

Fantastic!

[shati]

Damn, this is well done, the use of motion in the first few seconds made me sit up. I especially like the use of the roses.

[sarkastic]

Oh, this was so awesome! What a great White Queen/Wars of the Roses vid. I loved the use of roses and historical images. Really great.

[franzeska]

Wonderful use of the rose imagery.
