Royals
(originally by Lorde)
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 everybody's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care; we drive 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 ain'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 of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler), and 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
My friends and I we've cracked the code
We count our pennies 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 everybody's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care; we drive 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 ain'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 of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler), and you can call me Queen Bee
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
Let me be that fantasy
(Oh oh)
Royals
(Oh oh)
We're bigger than we ever dreamed
And I'm in love with being queen
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 of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler), and you can call me Queen Bee
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
Let me be that fantasy
Let me be that fantasy
