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 didn't)
+
Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend (go figure)
+
It's clear that someone's gotta go
+
We mean it, but I promise we're not mean
+
And the cry goes out (ha)
+
They lose their minds for us, and how it plays out (ha)
+
Now we're in the ring and we're coming for blood
+
(Oh! Oh!)
+
You could try and take us (oh-oh)
+
But we're the gladiators (Oh! Oh!)
+
Everyone a rager (oh-oh)
+
But secretly they're saviors
+
Glory and gore go hand in hand
+
That's why we're making headlines (Oh! Oh!)
+
You could try and take us (oh-oh)
+
But victory's contagious
+
Delicate 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
+
And the cry goes out (ha oh)
+
They lose their minds for us and how it plays out (ha oh)
+
Now we're in the ring and we're coming for blood
+
(Oh! Oh!)
+
You could try and take us (oh-oh)
+
But we're the gladiators (Oh! Oh!)
+
Everyone a rager (oh-oh)
+
But secretly they're saviors
+
Glory and gore go hand in hand
+
That's why we're making headlines (Oh! Oh!)
+
You could try and take us (oh-oh)
+
But victory's contagious
+
No-one 'round here's good at keeping their eyes closed
+
The sun's starting to light up when we're walking home
+
Tired little laughs, gold lie 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
+
(Oh! Oh!)
+
You could try and take us (oh-oh)
+
But we're the gladiators (Oh! Oh!)
+
Everyone a rager (oh-oh)
+
But secretly they're saviors
+
Glory and gore go hand in hand
+
That's why we're making headlines (Oh! Oh!)
+
You could try and take us (oh-oh)
+
But victory's contagious
