The King Is Dead

[Oh yeah, alright]

[Verse 1:]
Some people make a living
While others make it killing
Some start out as the hero
But they end up as the villain
Some people do the working
While others do the talking
I can see ‘em out there cruising
While the rest of us are walking
Some sail on a ship of fools
That do their best to make the rules
It might be that they don’t see
But it’s plain to me

[Chorus:]
The king is dead, the king is dead
He fought the fight but he lost his head
The king is dead but all they said
Was long live king [hey]
Long live the king [alright]

[Verse 2:]
Oh don’t stand there looking useless
Pick up a heavy hammer
Get down upon your hands and knees
To work down in the mud
You’re gonna be subjected
To the struggle of existence
It’s time to show us all
What you’re really made of
Stand down, your game of greed
And find out what you really need
Untie the ties that behind
And leave it all behind

[Chorus]

[Chorus:]
The king is dead, the king is dead
He fought the fight but he lost his head
The king is dead and all they said
Was long live king
The king is dead, the king is dead
We’re marching down on streets of red
The king is dead but all they said
Was long live king
Long live the king [oh yeah]
Long live the king [hey now]
Long live the king [hey now]
Whoo!
