Royals
Bop-a-Matic Kid Lyrics

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I have never actually seen a real diamond, in person.

I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
I learned about love and relationships by watching romantic movies and TV shows.

And I'm not proud of my address,
I am not happy about where I come from or my background.

In the torn up town no post code envy
I grew up in a run-down area and do not envy people who live in fancier neighborhoods.

But every song's like gold teeth, gold goose, singin' in the bathroom
Every popular song these days is about showing off expensive possessions and living a lavish lifestyle.

Grass stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
People are happy to both wear nice clothes and get dirty, as well as wreck luxury rooms in hotels as a sign of wealth.

We don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams
We don't care about reality, and we often dream about living a life with fancy cars.

But everybody's like gold ring, maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
People are always trying to one-up each other by showing off even more expensive possessions, such as luxury cars or watches.

Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
People with money are able to afford things like private planes, islands, and exotic pets like tigers and leopards.

We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair
We don't care about your relationship drama or trying to impress you with our wealth.

And we'll never be royals (royals)
We will never be royal, and that kind of lifestyle is not something we aspire to.

It don't run in our blood
Being royal is not something that is part of our history or lineage.

That kind of luxe just ain't for us
We just aren't interested in living that luxurious lifestyle.

We crave a different kind of love
Our priorities and desires are focused on something different than wealth and material possessions.

Let me be your ruler (ruler)
If you want to be with me, let me take the lead and be in charge.

You can call me queen bee
I am confident and want to be seen as a leader or powerful figure.

And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule)
I will take control and make things happen in our relationship.

Let me live that fantasy
I want to live in a world where I can be in charge and have the power to make my dreams come true.

My friends and I we've cracked the code
My friends and I have figured out how to live happily and successfully without needing to be rich or famous.

We count our dollars on the train to the party
We are careful with our money and budget in order to afford fun outings like parties.

And everyone who knows us knows
Our close friends and family understand that we are content with our lives and don't need material things to be happy.

That we're fine with this we didn't come from money
We are okay with not being wealthy, and don't feel inferior or jealous of people who are.

We're bigger than we ever dreamed, and I'm in love with being queen
We realize that we are capable of great things and have achieved more than we ever thought possible. I enjoy being a powerful figure in my own life.

Life is great without a care
We are happy and content with our lives, even without the worries or stresses of money and status.
