Down with the King

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1][Rap] The people are crying They’re hungry, sick, and dying the self-appointed king chooses not to see the people’s pain, the people’s needs, the lives they’ve built, their identities [Verse 2][Rap] The people are crying their futures stolen; their present uncertain because “by the people, for the people” has been dismissed as a silly notion in favor of a corporate slogan [Chorus][Sing] do you hear them cry, Mr. President? do you see them in the streets? do you even bother to look down? Too busy playing another round? the people know the answer - it's silly to ask Our dear leader is a deluded jackass so down with the king, off with his head! we'd all be better off if he was dead or we could depose him instead strip him of his money and power give him a real job - $7.50 an hour [Verse 3][Rap] The people are crying Because their country is run like a company With three hundred million involuntary employees Who face termination, deportation or starvation if they don’t meet expectations And no one cares if they live or die Only that they multiply [Chorus][Sing] do you hear them cry, Mr. President? do you see them in the streets? do you even bother to look down? Too busy playing another round? the people know the answer - it's silly to ask Our dear leader is a deluded jackass so down with the king, off with his head! we'd all be better off if he was dead or we could depose him instead strip him of his money and power give him a real job - $7.50 an hour [Bridge][Sing] The people are crying They’re hungry, sick, and dying The king doesn’t see Too busy driving this country company Into moral bankruptcy When nobody voted for a monarchy [Chorus][Sing] do you hear them cry, Mr. President? do you see them in the streets? do you even bother to look down? too busy polishing your crown? the people know the answer - it's silly to ask Our dear leader is a deluded jackass so down with the king, off with his head! we'd all be better off if he was dead or we could depose him instead strip him of his money and power give him a real job - $7.50 an hour The people are crying The people are crying [Fade] [End]
