Midnight,
At the school
'Hind the bleachers
There's gonna be a rumble
The lions and the kings
And my baby, she cries
In her bed and she worries
And my baby, she prays
God save the kings!
Promise me you won't do anything crazy
I promise you I won't do anything, baby
Promise me
I promise you nothing!
We're outcasts only 'cause we choose to dream,
We're princes who'd rather dine with thieves,
We're honest only 'cause the truth, it cannot hide,
God save us, the foolish kings
Midnight,
At the school,
Behind the bleachers,
[Hey baby, lets go, lets go]
There's gonna be a rumble
But the cops won't be notified
[Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa]
So the lions bear their arms
But the kings gonna break the hearts of their babies tonight
We're desperate only 'cause we've none to lose,
We're lions missing half our teeth,
We're honest only 'cause the truth, it cannot hide,
God save us, the foolish kings,
God save us, the foolish kings
And we fight 'cause
We'd rather break our bones
Than brave this loneliness,
We draw blood 'cause
We're just trying to draw out some significance
But I met God on the street tonight
And he said,
"Choose your battles wisely
Or you'll never find Me"
Promise me you won't do anything crazy,
Promise me
I promise you,
I promise you one thing!
We're devils try'n to earn our angels wings,
We stumble at every turn indeed,
We're desperate chasing down the love to just survive,
God save us, the foolish kings,
[Promise me you won't do anything crazy]
God save us, the foolish kings,
[Promise me, promise me]
God save us,
God save us, the foolish kings!
