They wanted to be kings
They wanted to be wealthy
They wanted all the fame
They wanted all the things
They needed lots of things
They needed to need less
They needed to invest
They needed to take risks
Oh oh oh they wanted they wanted
Oh oh oh they needed
Oh oh oh they wanted they wanted
Oh oh oh
(But they were good at few things)
Being young
Living young
Dying young
And killing time
There's no looking back
Live like there's no home to go back
Being young
Turning up
And burning fast
There's no looking back
Live like no one's holding you back
They would know how to act
If they were born as royals
They would know what to wear
If decks and decks of cash
Overflowed the cabinets
Overflowed the bank
Would know how to live
Know exactly how to live
They wouldn't flaunt their wealth
They'd rather wear unbranded
High fashion
But they weren't born with those things
Squeezed into their palms
From the womb filled with gold
From birth till they die
Being young
Living young
Dying young
And killing time
There's no looking back
Live like there's no home to go back
Being young
Turning up
And burning fast
There's no looking back
Live like no one's holding you back
Being young
Living young
Dying young
And killing time
There's no looking back
Live like there's no home to go back
Being young
Turning up
And burning fast
There's no looking back
Live like no one's holding you back
