Glory and Gore

Lorde

1. There's a humming in the restless summer air
   And we're slipping off the course that we prepared
   But in all chaos, there is calculation
   Dropping glasses just to hear them break
   You've been drinking like the world was gonna end (it's ending)
   Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend (go figure)
   It's clear that someone's gotta go home
   We mean it but I promise we're not mean
   
P: And the crowd goes loud (haa...)
   They lose their minds for us
   And how it plays out (haa...)
   Now we're in the ring
   And we're coming for blood
   
R: (Oh! Oh!)
   You can try and take us (oh-oh)
   But we're the gladiators (Oh! Oh!)
   Everyone a ranger (oh-oh)
   But secretly they're saviors
   Glory and gore go hand in hand
   That's why we're making headlines (Oh! Oh!)
   You can try and take us (oh-oh)
   But victory's contagious
   
2. Tell a kid in every way but one (the swordplay)
   God knows we like archaic kinds of fun (the old way)
   Chance is the only game I play with, baby
   We let our battles choose us
P:
R:
   
   No one around here is good at keeping their eyes closed
   The sun's starting to light up when we're walking home
   Tired little laughs, gold, light promises, we'll always win at this
   I don't ever think about death
   It's alright if you do, it's fine
   We gladiate but I guess we're really fighting ourselves
   Roughing up our minds so we're ready when the kill time comes
   Wide awake in bed, words in my brain, "Secretly you love this
   Do you even wanna go free?"
   Let me in the ring, I'll show you what that big word means
   
R:
