Lorde - Royals

 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 post code envy

But every song’s like: Gold teeth, Grey Goose

Tripping in the bathroom

Blood stains, ball gowns

Trashing the hotel room

We don’t care

We’re driving Cadillacs 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 lux just ain’t for us

We crave a different kind of 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

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

But every song’s like: Gold teeth, Grey Goose

Tripping in the bathroom

Blood stains, ball gowns

Trashing the hotel room

We don’t care

We’re driving Cadillacs 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 lux just ain’t for us

We crave a different kind of 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, ooh

We’re bigger than we ever dreamed

And I’m in love with being queen

Ooh, ooh, ooh

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 lux just ain’t for us

We crave a different kind of 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
