Taylor Swift - the last great american dynasty (Official Lyric Video)
[00:11.69] rebekah rode up on the afternoon train, it was sunny
[00:16.54] her saltbox house on the coast took her mind off st. louis
[00:24.60] bill was the heir to the standard oil name and money
[00:29.46] and the town said, "how did a middle-class divorcée do it?"
[00:37.52] the wedding was charming, if a little gauche
[00:40.97] there's only so far new money goes
[00:43.99] they picked out a home and called it "holiday house"
[00:50.60] their parties were tasteful, if a little loud
[00:53.79] the doctor had told him to settle down
[00:57.03] it must have been her fault his heart gave out
[01:01.90] and they said
[01:03.03] "there goes the last great american dynasty
[01:09.49] who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been
[01:16.19] there goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen
[01:21.81] she had a marvelous time ruining everything"
[01:29.31] rebekah gave up on the rhode island set forever
[01:34.44] flew in all her bitch pack friends from the city
[01:41.35] filled the pool with champagne and swam with the big names
[01:45.14] and blew through the money on the boys and the ballet
[01:48.39] and losing on card game bets with dalí
[01:53.53] and they said
[01:54.92] "there goes the last great american dynasty
[02:01.48] who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been
[02:07.86] there goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen
[02:13.70] she had a marvelous time ruining everything"
[02:20.95] they say she was seen on occasion
[02:23.96] pacing the rocks, staring out at the midnight sea
[02:27.49] and in a feud with her neighbor
[02:30.43] she stole his dog and dyed it key lime green
[02:34.15] fifty years is a long time
[02:36.88] holiday house sat quietly on that beach
[02:40.60] free of women with madness, their men and bad habits
[02:45.12] and then it was bought by me
[02:53.68] who knows, if i never showed up, what could've been
[02:59.88] there goes the loudest woman this town has ever seen
[03:05.54] i had a marvelous time ruining everything
[03:12.01] i had a marvelous time ruining everything
[03:18.98] a marvelous time ruining everything
[03:25.70] a marvelous time
[03:31.59] i had a marvelous time
