Kings & Queens

On the day that we were born
They stamped our faces with a bar code
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
Heartless, paid, 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
Feels so false, our lives are morphing
Into movies with no end
The kind that keep us, do us, taunted
We act well
Despite the circumstances
Could you please not paint yourselves
As their prescription, more like poison
Frantically outlining that we're
Wrong, alone, unwanted
Just a phase
The only rational conclusion
We can't change
An impractical solution

'Cause 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
Heartless, paid, 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
Heartless, paid, 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, you're royalty
Heartless, paid, 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
King or queen, your love is free
