[Verse 1] Gold chairs Locked doors Red ropes Marble floors They toast to rules they never follow Smiling from a higher sky Tiny flags Big parades Most of us still underpaid They wave and we’re supposed to thank them For taking what we built [Chorus] Kings and queens They’re only people Paper crowns A taller steeple We don't need a throne between us We don’t need a name above Hands up high We’re all as equal Hearts beat loud That’s our cathedral We don't need a king or queen We just need us [Verse 2] Old books Old blood Old lines drawn in the mud “Born special” is a bedtime story For those afraid to share We stand Same ground Same pulse Same sound Why bow down to family portraits When we’re the ones who breathe [Chorus] [Bridge] Who feeds the fire? We do We do Who builds the palaces they hide in? We do We do Who writes the next page? We do We do Step off the carpet Join the crowd Feel how big we are now [crescendo] [Chorus]
