Been a warrior princess forever.
Killed some people, kicked lots of ass.
But Hercules stood
For everything good.
He said, "Xena, won't you give peace a chance?"

Xeus!  You know it ain't easy!
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me. 

Met with Gabrielle, she's my best friend.
Been around the world, forth and back.
The villagers said,
"She's gone to her head!
They look just like two gurus in drag!

Xeus!  You know it ain't easy!
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me.

Fighting off some evil villains every day.
Saving all from tyranny.
Last night my friend said,
"Oh girl, when you're dead,
You won't take nothin' with you but your soul.
I think." 
Caesar and Callisto, they hate me.
Ares wants me back on his side.
I'm fighting for good.You know that I should.
But everyone's still after my hide.

Xeus!  You know it ain't easy!
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me.
