"And so hard to remember things
Like when we used to kill our kings"
Always pops in my head every time I see news about some white collar criminal. The lyric gives me a satisfying feeling that no matter what, we could hold those in power accountable for their decisions… at least in the past that is. To me the song has to do with politics, the culture of unaccountability it fosters, and the direct action we are still capable of.
