Lyrics
We drive sensible cars with too many miles Got dad bods and mortgages, practical styles No mansions, no yachts, no private jets Just weekend warriors with no regrets We’re not CEOs, we’re not on TV We’re just regular guys living honestly No red carpets, no champagne dreams But we’ve got our own kingdoms, or so it seems
We didn’t conquer the world, that’s fine But we’re ruling our own small piece of time
We’re the kings of nothing! And we wear that crown! Kings of nothing! Never gonna let us down! We’ve got backyard BBQs and Friday nights! Cold beers with the boys, that’s our paradise! Kings of nothing! But we’re doing alright!
Our thrones are lawn chairs, our castles need paint We’re legends in our garages, modern-day saints Got kids who roll their eyes at our old jokes We’re living proof that ordinary folks Can find the joy in simple days Small victories in a million ways Not famous, not rich, not Instagram goals Just real men with contented souls
We didn’t change the world, but we changed our own And that’s enough to call this home
We’re the kings of nothing! And we own this life! Kings of nothing! With our kids and wife! We’ve got garage projects and Sunday games! Simple pleasures, no need for fame! Kings of nothing! And we’re doing just fine!
Maybe we’re not special in the grand scheme But to our kids we’re heroes, or so they dream Maybe we’re not wealthy by society’s measure But we’ve found our own definition of treasure
So raise your glass to the average man Living the best life that he can Not chasing dragons, not playing pretend Just being present until the end
We’re the kings of nothing! And we’ve got it made! Kings of nothing! Living unafraid! We’ve got honest work and real friends near! Everything we need is already here! Kings of nothing! And that’s everything!
Kings of nothing, that’s who we are Don’t need a throne to be a star Kings of nothing, and that’s alright We’re living good, we’re sleeping tight
