Verse 1

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!

Pre-chorus 1

Promise me you won't do anything crazy

I promise you I won't do anyting, baby

Promise me, I promise you nothing!

Chorus 1

 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

Verse 2

as verse 1):

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

Chorus 2

as chorus 1):

We're desprate 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

 Others: , , /, , , ,

 Tim talks ( , , , , , ):

"And we fight cuz

We'd rather break our bones

Than brave this loneliness

We draw blood cuz

We're just trying to draw out some significance"

Bridge

But I met God on the street tonight

 And he said, "Choose your battles wisely

Or you'll never find Me"

Pre-chorus 2

Promise me you won't do anything crazy

Promise me

 I promise you, I promise you one thing!

Chorus 3

 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

(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 foo-lish kings!
