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, let's go, let's go)
There's gonna be a rumble
But the cops won't be notified
So the lions bear their arms
But the kings gonna break
The hearts of their babies tonight
We'll tarry 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 trying 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
