Royals—Lorde

Karson 2022-04-23 07:01:39

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh,

I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies,

And I'm not proud of my address, in the torn up town, never proud of my address in this ruined city

No post code envy, no postcode to be proud of,

But every song's like gold teeth,

grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom,

Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room

We don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams.

But everybody's like cristal, maybach, but everybody's talking about crystal limousines,

diamonds on your time piece. Diamond-encrusted watches, Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash. Private jet vacation islands and tigers in gold chains,

We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair. We don't care that it has nothing to do with us.

And we'll never be royals..

It don't run in our blood, royal blood doesn't run in us,

that kind of lux just ain't for us.

We crave a different kind of buzz. We just crave a different atmosphere,

Let me be your ruler, you can call me queen B,

And baby I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule. And I'll rule,

Let me live that fantasy.

My friends and I we've cracked the code. My friends and I decided to break the status quo,

We count our dollars on the train to the party.

And everyone who knows us knows,

that we're fine with this, we've grown accustomed to being poor,

we didn't come from money. We didn't live for money,

Let me live that fantasy.

We're bigger than we ever dreamed, we're bigger than we ever thought,

and I'm in love with being queen.
