Royals (fingerstyle guitar cover by Peter Gergely)
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 Bloodstains Ball gowns Trashing the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like: Crystal Maybach Diamonds on your timepiece Jet planes Islands Tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we're 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 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 for money But every song's like: Gold teeth Grey Goose Tripping in the bathroom Bloodstains Ball gowns Trashing the hotel room We don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like: Crystal Maybach Diamonds on your timepiece Jet planes Islands Tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we're 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 Let me live that fantasy
ooh ooh oh ooh We're better than we've every dreamed And I'm in love with being queen ooh ooh oh 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, I'll rule Let me live that fantasy
