Kings & Queens

On the day that we were born
They stamped our faces with a barcode
With the most permanent ink
In bold across our foreheads
Scanned and sold
To the prison of our everyday
All we want
Is to scratch the mental scar away
We grow up to disappoint the sure
Predictions of the ones who
Nailed the fences round our necks
But only to protect us
Once they know
We’ve ignored their false identities
They’ll freak out
Diagnose us with a head disease
But we can’t be blamed
We can’t be blamed
I can’t be
You can’t be
We can’t be blamed
King or queen, you’re royalty
Heart or spade, it’s overplayed
They’ll brand us, scar us, leave us
When they fail to understand us, but
King or queen, your love is free
King or queen, your love is free
They don’t know the kind of pain
That we endure to keep them at ease
Feel so false
Our lives are morphing into movies
With no end
The kind to keep its viewers taunted
We act well
Despite the circumstances
«Could you please not be yourself?» is their prescription
More like poison
Frantically outlining that we’re wrong
Alone, unwanted
Just a faze
The only rational conclusion
We can change
An impractical solution
'Cause we can’t be blamed (We can’t be blamed)
We can’t be blamed (We can’t be blamed)
I can’t be, you can’t be
We can’t be blamed
King or queen, you’re royalty
Heart or spade, it’s overplayed
They’ll brand us, scar us, leave us
When they fail to understand us, but
King or queen, your love is free
We deserve to have a throne
Praise to each their own
We deserve to wear a crown
Tell me, why do they have to bring us down?
King or queen, you’re royalty
(In reality, in reality)
Heart or spade, it’s overplayed
(We're humanity, we’re humanity)
They’ll brand us, scar us, leave us
When they fail to understand us, but
King or queen, your love is free
King or queen, you’re royalty
(In reality, in reality)
Heart or spade, it’s overplayed
(We're humanity, we’re humanity)
They’ll brand us, scar us, leave us
When they fail to understand us, but
King or queen, your love is free
King or queen, your love is free
King or queen, your love is free
