First Republic Lyrics - Manic Street Preachers

You are so alone in Kensington Palace 

We should be content in these damp terraces 

Thank you for this view from our council estates 

I hope you have really guillotined your own head 

I crown myself, myself a king 

And declare a first republic 

We want to play, yes we want to play 

In burnt out palace ruins 

You once gave us war, racism and slavery 

Cut out all our tongues and fucked our industry 

Now you've revealed something, you're human after all this 

But let's clap our hands and fuck our dear princess

I crown myself, myself a king 

And declare a first republic 

We want to play, yes we want to play 

In burnt out palace ruins 

I crown myself, myself a king 

And declare a first republic 

We want to play, yes we want to play 

In burnt out palace ruins
