Midnight at the school behind the bleachers
Oh, 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 chose to dream
We're princes who'd rather dine with thieves
We're honest only 'cause the truth, it can not hide
God save us, the foolish kings

Midnight at the school behind the bleachers
Oh, there's gonna be a rumble
But the cops won't be notified
So the lions bare their arms
But the kings gonna break the hearts of their babies tonight

We're daring only 'cause we've none to lose
We're lions missing half our teeth
We're honest only 'cause the truth, it can not 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
