The Ruler

Lorde - Royals

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

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 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

My friends and I we’ve cracked the code

We count our dollars on the tr
