Kings & Queens

Metaphors and similes
Aren't direct enough for me
And just because you want me to
Don't mean I have to follow you
Yes we're obstinate
But we're innocent
Of the misguided notion
That we're all that different

We are the kings and queens
Reaching new extremes
We speak our mind
With no regard
To how the situation seems
Written in the richest words
'Cause we know what we're worth
We're diamonds in a mine of stories left untold
We're the royalty
Living history
Taking in all life's mysteries
We are the kings and queens
Reaching new extremes
We speak our mind
With no regard
To how the situation seems

You might be from cloud nine
But no amount of space and time
Will make you mine
'Cause copper rings
You on your knees
Aren't good enough to please
Just 'cause you say so
Don't mean I should go
'Cause no one tells me what to do
Or where I should go

We are the kings and queens
Reaching new extremes
We speak our mind
With no regard
To how the situation seems
Written in the richest words
'Cause we know what we're worth
We're diamonds in a mine of stories left untold
We're the royalty
Living history
Taking in all life's mysteries
We are the kings and queens
Reaching new extremes
We speak our mind
With no regard
To how the situation seems

You might think we're shallow
Misguided and entitled
But just because I'm ambitious
Don't mean that I've lost my conscience
I know what I want and who I am
That's not a fault and not a sin
Taking chances, taking risks
Is what we've done for ages

We are the kings and queens
Reaching new extremes
We speak our mind
With no regard
To how the situation seems
Written in the richest words
'Cause we know what we're worth
We're diamonds in a mine of stories left untold
We're the royalty
Living history
Taking in all life's mysteries
We are the kings and queens
Reaching new extremes
We speak our mind
With no regard
To how the situation seems
