Mayer Hawthorne – Royals lyrics
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 a torn-up town, no post code envy

But every song's like, gold teeth, Grey Goose,
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like, Crystal, Maybach,
We don't care, we're not 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
And let me be your ruler (Ruler)
You can call me royalty
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, we're alright with this
We don't come for money

But every song's like, gold teeth, Grey Goose,
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like, Crystal, Maybach,
We don't care, we're not 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
And let me be your ruler (Ruler)
You can call me royalty
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
Let me live that fantasy

We're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
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 lux' just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
And let me be your ruler (Ruler)
You can call me royalty
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
No 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
And let me be your ruler (Ruler)
You can call me royalty
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
Let me live that fantasy
