Lorde - Royals --Most Incredible Song



So this is my most recent song obsession.  I love everything about it.  The lyrics.  The harmonies.  The afro beat.  I love the solemn intensity.  The seriousness and commitment to not caring.  To the impossible.  The difference.  It's ennobling and empowering.  It is focused.

I've never seen a diamond in the fleshI cut my teeth on wedding rings in the moviesAnd I'm not proud of my addressIn the torn up town, no post code envy
But every song's like:Gold teethGrey GooseTripping in the bathroomBloodstainsBall gownsTrashing the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like:CrystalMaybachDiamonds on your timepieceJet planesIslandsTigers 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 bloodThat kind of lux just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzzLet me be your ruler (ruler)You can call me queen beeAnd baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll ruleLet me live that fantasy
My friends and I we've cracked the codeWe count our dollars on the train to the partyAnd everyone who knows us knowsThat we're fine with this, we didn't come from moneyBut every song's like:Gold teethGrey Goose[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/royals-lyrics-lorde.html ]Tripping in the bathroomBloodstainsBall gownsTrashing the hotel roomWe don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like:CrystalMaybachDiamonds on your timepieceJet planesIslandsTigers 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 bloodThat kind of lux just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzzLet me be your ruler (ruler)You can call me queen beeAnd baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll ruleLet me live that fantasy
ooh ooh oh oohWe're better than we've every dreamedAnd I'm in love with being queenooh ooh oh oohLife is great without a careWe aren't caught up in your love affairAnd we'll never be royals (royals)It's a word that I would love.That kind of lux just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzzLet me be your ruler (ruler)You can call me queen beeAnd baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll ruleLet me live that fantasy
