Royal Blood

Up against a wall

And you want to peel away but gravity won't let you

Did the curtain call?

If they call you by your name, don't you let 'em get you

The cavalry is after me

But I promise you I'm not scared

The lords and ladies of a one horse town

They can't get me when I'm in the air

Mr. America

Wrap him in a flag and send him to the riot

And if I'm scaring you

Know the hills are on fire and they're glowing ultraviolet

And it seems to me

That it's pretty simple to see

Oh, a fish rots from the head down, going downtown

I can see your head has fleas

So, stand up straight, son, you've royal blood

Shout your family name on the streets you run

You said fuck old age when you can die young

Some things never change, you're your father's son

Hey long face, you bleed royal blood

Forget this place, you're a cut above

Take your father's gold, buy a loaded gun

You've got old money and a big trust fund

Yeah but you're still street, man, you're still thug

We sleep in the streets that you think you're from

Hey long face, you bleed royal blood

Forget this place, you're a cut above

And that's the end

You took off last night

In a car with a blonde

You arrived at the gate just a little too late

Just to find that your castle's bridge, it had been drawn

You've got nothing to prove

Certainly not to me

Common folk make you choke because you know that we know

That you bleed

Royal blood
