Royals by: Lorde

[verse one]

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 a torn-up town, no postcode envy

 

but every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom

blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel rooms, we don't care,

we're driving Cadillac's in our dreams.

but everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece

jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash

we don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

 

And we'll never be royals (royals).

it don't run in our blood

That kind of luxe just ain't for us.

We crave a different kind od buzz.

let me be your ruler (ruler),

you can call me queen bee

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

let me live that fantasy 

 

[verse two]

My friends and I-we've cracked the code.

we count our dollars on the train to the party.

everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this,

we didn't come for money.   

 

but every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom

blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel rooms, we don't care,

we're driving Cadillac's in our dreams.

but everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece

jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash

we don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

 

And we'll never be royals (royals).

it don't run in our blood

That kind of luxe just ain't for us.

We crave a different kind od buzz.

let me be your ruler (ruler),

you can call me queen bee

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

let me live that fantasy 

 

ooh ooh oh

we're bigger than we ever dreamed,

And I'm in love with being queen.

ooh ooh oh

life is great without a care

we aren't caught up in your love affair

 

And we'll never be royals (royals).

it don't run in our blood

That kind of luxe just ain't for us.

We crave a different kind od buzz.

let me be your ruler (ruler),

you can call me queen bee

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

let me live that fantasy
