The King Is Dead Lyrics - Singles - Herd

We danced like new years eve 

We danced from sheer relief 

Everything must change 

The people that you projected as 

We were nothing of the sort it sold us all 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 they 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 

I 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? 

Unless pushed we would never have retired him 

Fuckin pirate history will damn him 

Once it seemed like nothing can damage him 

[UNKLE HO MANDARIN -?? ] 

Crook, you got your arse played in Mandarin 

Finally the King is Dead, 

We cried off with his head 

Everything must change, Everything must change 

We danced like new years eve 

We danced from relief 

Everything must change, nothing stays the same 

Nothing stays the same oh, Nothing stays the same oh 

Yeah Cats I know are feeling just 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 broader view 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 years 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 years eve 

We danced from sheer relief 

Everything must change 

Just promise me this, 

No rose petal glasses, 

Quickly consign him to part of the past 

Just promise me this, 

No rose petal glasses, 

Quickly consign 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 years eve 

We danced from relief 

Everything must change, 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 years eve 

We danced from relief 

Everything must change, nothing stays the same 

Nothing stays the same oh, Nothing stays the same oh
