Lorde – Leader of a New Regime (Lyrics)

Wearing SPF 3000 for the ultraviolet rays
Made it to the island on the last of the outbound planes
Got a trunkful of Simone and Céline and of course my magazines
I’m gonna live out my days

Won’t somebody, anybody
be the leader of a new regime?
Free the keepers of the burnt out scene
Another day

Lust and paranoia reign supreme
We need the leader of a new regime
