Lily Allen’s new video for Sheezus is here – looks like we’ll be singing about periods all summer

It pains us to say, we’ve not been overly enthused with Lily Allen’s comeback so far, with the exception of the excellent video/lyrics of Hard Out Here. However, the genius concept behind her new album, Sheezus, hasn’t gone unnoticed. Cue much secret excitement for the video of the title track!

While the video might not be a massive game changer (and quite creepy with those yellow eyes, in parts), what we WEREN’T expecting was the lyric “Periods, we all get periods, every month, yo, that’s what the theory is”.

CATCHY, RIGHT?

We’re also loving the way she’s managed to call out (deep breath) Rihanna, Katy Perry, Lorde, Beyonce and Lady Gaga in one single chorus.

Check out the full lyrics to Lily Allen’s Sheezus below:

Been here before, so I’m prepared
Not gonna lie though, I’m kinda scared
Laced up my gloves, I’m going in
Don’t let my kids watch me when I get in the ring

I’ll take the hits, roll with the punches
I’ll get back up, it’s not as if I’ve never done this
But then again the game is changing
Can’t just come back, jump on the mic and do the same thing

There goes the bell, I know that sound
I guess it’s time for me to go another round
Now wish me luck, I’m gonna need it
I’ll see you on the other side if I’m still breathing

Ri-Ri isn’t scared of Katy Perry’s roaring
Queen B’s going back to the drawing
Lorde smells blood, yeah, she’s about to slay you
Kid ain’t one to fuck with when she’s only on her debut

We’re all watching Gaga, L-O-L-O, haha
Dying for the art, so really she’s a martyr
The second best will never cut it for the divas
Give me that crown, bitch, I wanna be Sheezus

I’m ready for all the comparisons
I think it’s dumb and it’s embarrassing
I’m switching off, no longer listening
I’ve had enough of persecution and conditioning

Maybe it’s instinct, we’re only animal
Maybe it’s healthy, maybe it’s rational
It makes me angry, I’m serious
But then again, I’m just about to get my period

Periods, we all get periods
Every month, yeah, that’s what the theory is
It’s human nature, another cycle
Be nice to me, I’ll make you one of my disciples

Ri-Ri isn’t scared of Katy Perry’s roaring
Queen B’s going back to the drawing
Lorde smells blood, yeah, she’s about to slay you
Kid ain’t one to fuck with when she’s only on her debut

We’re all watching Gaga, L-O-L-O, haha
Dying for the art, so really she’s a martyr
The second best will never cut it for the divas
Give me that crown, bitch, I wanna be Sheezus

I am born again, now run along and tell
All of your friends to come and join us
Give yourselves to me, I am your leader
Let me be Sheezus, let me Sheezus

I am born again, now run along and tell
All of your friends to come and join us
Give yourselves to me, I am your leader
Let me be Sheezus
