I Just HAD to do this... My Version of "Royals"

When we were teenagers living in the midst of nowhere, my friends and I used to write our own songs. We were the "Weird Al's" of the South, for sure!
This song was far too tempting to ignore.
This is my rendition of
ROYALS:


I've seen so many diamonds in the flesh
I cut my teeth on men who swore they meant it...
And I'm not sure of my address
Goin' town to town...What post code is this?

But every day's like Write this, sing that, pack another suitcase
tweet it, edit, don't forget the train case.
We don't care. We're flying private planes in the sky.
But everybody's like sound check , backup, watch over the soundboard
Find the right shade, dont forget to contour.
We don't care...Not everybody can take a dare.

And we'll never be sorry
We've come too far with this
Not giving up on finding bliss
And making sure we never miss

You can call me crazy
You can call me home free
And baby I'll live (I'll live...I'll live...I'll live)
You can never hinder me.

My friends and I, we keep it real
We don't pretend to live a life
of mediocrity.
And everyone who knows us knows that we roll with it
we live our lives and mean it.

But every day's like Write this, sing that, pack another suitcase
tweet it, edit, don't forget the train case.
We don't care. We're flying private planes in the sky.
But everybody's like sound check , backup, watch over the soundboard
Find the right shade, dont forget to contour.
We don't care...Not everybody can take a dare.



And we'll never be sorry
We've come too far with this
Not giving up on finding bliss
And making sure we never miss

You can call me crazy
You can call me home free
And baby I'll live (I'll live...I'll live...I'll live)
You can never hinder me.
