Royals Lyrics

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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e110167-lorde~royals_lyrics.html ]
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, diamonds on your time piece.
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 B
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 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, 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, diamonds on your time piece.
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 B
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.

Oooh oooh ohh
We're bigger than we ever dreamed, and I'm in love with being queen.
Oooh oooh ohh
Life is game 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 B
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.
