【感动我的歌曲】 Millennials in Trouble?

Lorde's Royals

https://youtu.be/nlcIKh6sBtc

 

These days I keep hearing that my fellow millennials are making no headway with life. 

 

I doubt we are a generation of discontent. I don't doubt the discontented in our generation can find their voice in Lorde's Royals.

 

I may not agree with Lorde's message, but I must say there's something about this young lady. She is far more than a songbird.

Royals/Lyrics

 

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh

I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies

And I'm not proud of my address

In a torn up town, no postcode envy

 

But every song's like

Gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom

Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room

We don't care

We're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

But everybody's like

Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece

Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash

We don't care

We aren't caught up in your love affair

 

And we'll never be royals (royals)

It don't run in our blood

That kind of luxe just ain't for us

We crave a different kind of buzz

Let me be your ruler (ruler)

You can call me queen bee

And baby, I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)

Let me live that fantasy

 

My friends and I, we've cracked the code

We count our dollars on the train to the party

And everyone who knows us knows

That we're fine with this, we didn't come from money

 

But every song's like

Gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom

Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room

We don't care

We're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

But everybody's like

Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece

Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash

We don't care

We aren't caught up in your love affair

 

And we'll never be royals (royals)

It don't run in our blood

That kind of luxe just ain't for us

We crave a different kind of buzz

Let me be your ruler (ruler)

You can call me queen bee

And baby, I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)

Let me live that fantasy

 

Oh

Oh (oh, oh)

We're bigger than we ever dreamed

And I'm in love with being queen

Oh

Oh (oh, oh)

Life is great without a care

We aren't caught up in your love affair

 

And we'll never be royals (royals)

It don't run in our blood

That kind of luxe just ain't for us

We crave a different kind of buzz

Let me be your ruler (ruler)

You can call me queen bee

And baby, I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)

Let me live that fantasy
