Verse 1
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
No postcode envy
Chorus
But every song's like: gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ballgowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care - we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like Cristal, Mayback, 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 - It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
Let me live that fantasy
Verse 2
My friends and I we've cracked the code
We count our dollars on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this
We didn't come from money
Chorus
But every song's like: gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ballgowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care - we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like Cristal, Mayback, 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 - It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
Let me live that fantasy
oh ooh oh ohh
We're bigger than we ever dreamed
And I'm in love with being queen (king)
oh ooh oh ohh
Life's a game without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals - It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
Let me live that fantasy

About this song: Royals
"lately i've been waking up at 4 or 5 a.m., turning things over in my head. so much to think about, so much to break down and process and decide. i'm only at the beginning, but it has always been important to me that everything feels cool, feels right. this song means a hell of a lot to me, and to others, and i guess what i tried to do is make something you could understand. a lot of people think teenagers live in this world like 'skins' every weekend or whatever, but truth is, half the time we aren't doing anything cooler than playing with lighters, or waiting at some shitty stop.
