national anthem
Lana Del Ray Lyrics

Money is the anthem of success
Money is what drives society and success, it's the reason we exist

So before we go out, what's your address?
Let's not waste any time, tell me where you live so I can come over

I'm your national anthem
I'm the symbol of your country and all that it represents

God, you're so handsome
You are extremely good-looking and charming

Take me to the Hamptons
Take me to the wealthy and prestigious area of the Hamptons, where the elite go to vacation

Bugatti Veyron
A luxurious, expensive sports car that symbolizes wealth and power

He loves to romance 'em
He enjoys seducing women and wooing them with his charm

Reckless abandon
He acts without thinking of the consequences and takes risks with no regard for safety or care

Holdin' me for ransom
He has control over me and uses it to his advantage

Upper echelon
He is part of the highest social class and has access to everything that comes with that

He says to be cool, but I don't know how yet
He wants me to be calm and collected, but I am not sure how to do that

Wind in my hair
The wind blowing through my hair creates a sense of freedom and adventure

Hand on the back of my neck
His touch is intimate and possessive, demonstrating control over me

I said, 'Can we party later on?' He said, 'Yes'
We plan to have fun together and party later

Tell me I'm your national anthem (Booyah baby bow down making me say wow now)
Declare your love and dedication to me, show me your admiration and respect

Red, white, blue is in the sky
The colors of the American flag are visible and symbolic

Summer's in the air and baby, heaven's in your eyes
The season of summer brings joy and happiness, and I see heaven in your eyes

Money is the reason we exist, Everybody knows it, it's a fact
Money is the driving force behind our lives, and everyone knows it to be true

Kiss, kiss
An intimate gesture of affection

I sing the national anthem while I'm standin' over your body, Hold you like a python
I am in control, wrapping myself around you like a python while singing the national anthem

And you can't keep your hands off me or your pants on, See what you've done to me
You are so attracted to me that you cannot control your physical desires, which I find empowering

King of Chevron
Symbolic of power and wealth, being the ruler of the oil company Chevron

He said to be cool, but I'm already coolest
He wants me to remain calm but I am already the coolest and most composed person around

I said to get real, don't you know who you're dealing with?
I want him to be honest and genuine, and not just try to impress me with false charm

Umm, do you think you'll buy me lots of diamonds?
I am asking for a luxurious gift, such as diamonds, to show his affections

It's a love story for the new age, For the sixth page
Our love story is unique and modern, fitting for current times and trends

We're on a quick, sick rampage
We are on a wild and reckless journey at a rapid pace

Wining and dining, drinking and driving, Excessive buying overdose and dying
We indulge in lavish food and drinks, drug use, and reckless spending that may lead to death or self-destruction

On our drugs and our love and our dreams and our rage
Our excessive behavior impacts our emotions and desires, leading to increased feelings of passion, anger, and ambition

Blurring the lines between real and the fake
We are unable to tell the difference between what is genuine and what is a facade

Dark and lonely, I need somebody to hold me
In our lavish and self-destructive lifestyle, I feel lost and alone and crave the comfort of another person

He will do very well, I can tell, I can tell
The person I am with is successful and will do well in the future, I can sense it

Keep me safe, in his belltower hotel
I want to be protected and safe in our luxurious and secluded hotel

Boy, put your hands up, Give me a standing ovation
Celebrate our love and devotion with a grand gesture, like a standing ovation

Boy, you have landed, Babe in the land of, Sweetness and danger, queen of Saigon
You have stumbled into a world filled with both pleasure and peril, where I am the powerful and alluring queen
