  • Even the stars and the moon don't shine quite like we do
    Dreamers searchin' for the truth
    Go on, read about us in the news
    Pretty reckless, pretty wild
    Talking shit and we'll just smile
    Don't you see these fuckin' crowns?
    If you know what I mean, you on the team

    This is a hymn for the hymnless, kids with no religion
    Yeah, we keep on sinning, yeah, we keep on singing
    Flying down the highway, backseat of the Hyundai
    Pull it to the front, let it run, we don't valet
    Sorry if you're starstruck, blame it on the stardust
    I know that I'm perfect, even though I'm fucked up
    Hymn for the hymnless, don't need no forgiveness
    'Cause if there's a heaven, don't care if we get in
    This is a hymn, hymn, hymn for how we live, live, live
    This is a hymn, hymn, hymn for how we live, for how we live

    After all we've been through, no, we won't stand and salute
    So we just ride, we just cruise, livin' like there's nothing left to lose
    If we die before we wake, who we are is no mistake
    This is just the way we're made
    You know what I mean, you on the team

    This is a hymn for the hymnless, kids with no religion
    Yeah, we keep on sinning, yeah, we keep on singing
    Flying down the highway, backseat of the Hyundai
    Pull it to the front, let it run, we don't valet
    Sorry if you're starstruck, blame it on the stardust
    I know that I'm perfect, even though I'm fucked up
    Hymn for the hymnless, don't need no forgiveness
    'Cause if there's a heaven, don't care if we get in
    This is a hymn, hymn, hymn for how we live, live, live
    This is a hymn, hymn, hymn for how we live, for how we live

    Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh

    This is a hymn for the hymnless, kids with no religion
    Yeah, we keep on sinning, yeah, we keep on singing
    Flying down the highway, yeah, we do it our way
    High as outer space, we don't hear what the rest say
    Sorry if you're starstruck, blame it on the stardust
    I know that I'm perfect, even though I'm fucked up
    Hymn for the hymnless, don't need no forgiveness
    'Cause if there's a heaven, don't care if we get in
    This is a hymn, hymn, hymn for how we live, live, live
    This is a hymn, hymn, hymn for how we live, for how we live Writer/s: CARA SALIMANDO, ERIC FREDERIC, JONNY PRICE, KESHA SEBERT, PEBE SEBERT
