[Intro] Backstage locked Front gate wide No velvet crown No place to hide [Verse] No Kings in the Green Room, no crown on the couch No holy little circle where the rich talk loud No champagne summit while the crowd gets searched No sermon from a throne in a rented church If you speak for the people, then stand in the rain If you claim our struggle, then carry the name Don’t wave from the balcony, safe and removed Get down in the dust where the people move [Pre-Chorus] Open up the door, let the hallway breathe Power ain’t a costume that you wear on sleeve Open up the door, bring the truth inside No Kings in the Green Room tonight [Chorus] No Kings in the Green Room No throne behind the stage No Kings in the Green Room No crown above the rage If you came for the people Then stand in the light No Kings in the Green Room tonight [Verse] They love a revolution when it sells real clean T-shirt on a hanger, slogan on a screen They love the angry photo and the market fit Till the crowd asks who gets paid for it So I tell every sponsor, every smiling face This ain’t your backdrop, this ain’t your place The street wrote the chorus, the crowd owns the tune There are No Kings in the Green Room [Pre-Chorus] Open up the door, let the hallway breathe Power ain’t a costume that you wear on sleeve Open up the door, bring the truth inside No Kings in the Green Room tonight [Chorus] No Kings in the Green Room No throne behind the stage No Kings in the Green Room No crown above the rage If you came for the people Then stand in the light No Kings in the Green Room tonight [Instrumental] Guitar chops hard, brass hits wide Drums like doors kicked open inside Bassline growls and the DJ cuts Crowd keeps shouting from the guts [Bridge] No VIP for the human need No private pass for public greed No hero pose, no golden room Only the truth and the rising boom [Breakdown] Who owns the song We do Who holds the line We do Who lights the night We do Who makes it move We do [Build-up] From the fence to the stage From the stage to the street Let the brass blow hot Let the drums stamp feet From the back to the front Let the whole crowd say No Kings in the Green Room No crowns today [Chorus] No Kings in the Green Room No throne behind the stage No Kings in the Green Room No crown above the rage If you came for the people Then stand in the light No Kings in the Green Room tonight [Chorus] No Kings in the Green Room No throne behind the stage No Kings in the Green Room No crown above the rage If you came for the people Then stand in the light No Kings in the Green Room tonight [Outro] Backstage open, front gate loud No kings here, just a living crowd No golden chair, no borrowed moon No Kings in the Green Room
