The King Is Dead

We danced like new years eve, we,
We danced from sheer relief, whoa oh
Everything must change
The people that you projected as …
Were nothing of the sort
Sold themselves short
Put down the champagne
No toast to the legacy (no way)
And all the propaganda of prosperity
That’s what a machine does
And the don’t need therapy
You turned us into a nation of haters
Far right appeaser
Believer in whatever get you leader
Dog whistle through the speakers
see who bites it
Noticed a hell of a lot of people liked it
An ethical choice is simpler if you price it
Conquer by dividing
that’s why you admired him
Unlessed pushed, we would never have retired him
Fucking pirate, history will damn him
Once it seemed like nothing could damage him
Crook, you got your arse played in Mandarin
Finally the King is Dead, they cried off with his head
Everything must change, Everything must change
We danced like New Year's Eve
We danced from relief
Everything must change
Nothing stays the same oh, Nothing stays the same oh
Nothing stays the same oh
Yeah
Cats I know are feeling this like the rapture
I can tell who this mood is failing to capture
It’s like somebody finally did light that match up
And burn down the parliament, learned from the argument
Can’t be non-partisan, when you’re an artist
And you put your heart in it, and that’s not even the half of it
Like my man said, we’re talking butter and bread
Better if his words were never uttered again
Mostly vindictive, who could have predicted
Just a few tax breaks to keep us all addicted
The dickhead dictator leader imitator
Made me feel immature when I said “I hate ya”
Did you read the paper the day after and hear the laughter?
I’ll read it to you, it starts with M McKew and ends with you
No roar for you from the people on your ship that you used to call crew
Huh! That’s typical, now I guess it’s difficult
For the type of person who only thinks of individual
No residual, you’ll see our resilience
Take your bat and ball and head for the pavilion
Finally the king is dead we cried off with his head
Everything must change
Everything must change
We danced like New Year's Eve
We danced from relief
Everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Nothing stays the same oh
Nothing stays the same oh
We danced like New Year's Eve
We danced from sheer relief oh
Everything must change
Just promise me this, no rose petal glasses
Quickly confine him to part of the past
Just promise me this, no rose petal glasses
Quickly confine him to part of the past
Finally the king is dead we cried off with his head
Everything must change
Everything must change
We danced like New Year's Eve
We danced from relief
Everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Nothing stays the same
Finally the king is dead we cried off with his head
Everything must change
Everything must change
We danced like New Year's Eve
We danced from relief
Everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Nothing stays the same oh
Nothing stays the same oh
Nothing stays the same oh
Nothing stays the same oh
Woah-oh
Everything must change
