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 
Dro-dro-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 
It's clear that someone's gotta go home 
We mean it but I promise we're not mean 

And the crowd goes loud 
They lose their minds for us 
And how it plays out 
Now we're in the ring 
And [bad word] for blood 
You can try and take us out 
But we're the gladiators uh uh 
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 

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 

And the crowd goes loud 
They lose their minds for us 
And how it plays out 
Now we're in the ring 
And [bad word] for blood 
You can try and take us out 
But we're the gladiators uh uh 
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 

No one around here is good 
At keeping their eyes closed 
The sun's starting to light up 
When we're walking home oooh 
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 uuuuh 
We gladiate but I guess 
We're really fighting ourselves 
Roughing up our minds so we're ready 
When the kill [bad word] 
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 

You can try and take us out 
But we're the gladiators uh uh 
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
