Lyrics Royals (Live at Mount Smart Stadium, Auckland, NZ - 03/01/2014) - Bruce Springsteen

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, in a torn-up town

Every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, tripping in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashing the hotel room
I don't care
Baby, I don't care

Everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
I don't care
I'm not caught up in your love affair

And I'll never be royal
Don't run in our blood
That kind just ain't for us
I crave a different kind of love

Let me be your ruler
You can call me king Bee
And I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
In my fantasy

My friends and I, we cracked the code
We count our dollars on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows
We're fine with this, we didn't come from money

And every fucking song's
Gold teeth, grey goose, tripping in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashing the hotel room
I don't care, I drive a Cadillac in my dreams

Everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
I don't care
I'm not caught up in your love affair

And I'll never be royal
Don't run in our blood
That kind just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of love

Let me be your ruler
You can call me king Bee
And, baby, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
And we'll live that fantasy

Long ago I was the next big thing
Now I'm in love with bein' king

I'll never be royal
Don't run in our blood
That kind just ain't for us
I crave a different kind of love

Let me be your ruler
You can call me king Bee
And, baby, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
In my fantasy

No I'll never be royal
Don't run in our blood
That kind just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of love

Let me be your ruler
You can call me king Bee
And, baby, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
In my fantasy
