Intro
/ (SEE CHORD CHART AT BOTTOM)
Midnight, At the school
'Hind the bleachers
There's gonna be a rumble
The lions and the kings
Rift 1
And my baby, she cries
In her bed and she worries
And my baby, she prays
Rift 1
God save the kings!
"guitar" solo
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 cuz we choose to dream
We're princes who'd rather dine with thieves
We're honest only cuz the truth, it cannot hide
God save us, the foolish kings
Midnight, At the school
Behind the bleachers [hey baby, lets go lets go]
There's gonna be a rumble
But the cops won't be notified [whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa]
So the lions bear their arms
But the kings gonna break the hearts of their babies tonight
We're desperate only cuz we've none to lose
We're lions missing half our teeth
We're honest only cuz the truth, it cannot hide
God save us, the foolish kings
God save us, the foolish kings
Wo Oh Oh's:
Bawweeeerrrr Intermision: *
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!
Wo Oh Oh!
We're devils try'n 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
God save us, the foolish kings
God save us, the foooooooooolish kings
