I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
I'm not proud of my address
In this tore-up town
There's no postcode envy

But every song says
Gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care
We're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's says
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 doesn't run in our blood
That kind of luck just ain't for us
We chase a different kind of bus
Let me be your ruler (Ruler)
Go ahead and king me
And 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 that knows us knows
That we're fine with this
We didn't come from money

But every song says
Gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care
We're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's says
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 doesn't run in our blood
That kind of luck just ain't for us
We chase a different kind of bus
Let me be your ruler (Ruler)
Go ahead and king me
And I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
(Oh, oh-oh)
Bigger than we ever dreamed
And I'm in love with being king
(Oh, oh-oh)
Life is great without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals (Royals)
It doesn't run in our blood
That kind of luck just ain't for us
We chase a different kind of bus
Let me be your ruler (Ruler)
Go ahead and king me
And I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
