(Who painted my white roses?...) (You missed a spot.) Line up the spades, put the brushes to work Scrambling in terror right into the dirt Told to be perfect, told to obey Or watch your own shadow get carried away There’s one little petal that’s white in the row A secret mistake you were hoping wouldn't show Drop to your knees while the royal guard stares Nobody breathes when the monarch prepares! You set up the wickets, you laid out the game Now you’re all shivering, taking the blame The hedge maze is closing, the gavel is down Look at the temper that's shaking the crown! Paint every petal till the garden bleeds! You grew the thorn, but I command the seeds! Bend down the knee or forfeit the crown Off with their heads when the hammer comes down! I write the verdict before you begin, Did you really think that a pawn gets to win? The rulebook is ash and the jury is dead Step out of line, off with your head! Look at the soldiers all flat on the floor Begging for mercy outside of the door A flamingo mallet, a hedgehog in flight The rules change again if you say that I’m right! Did I say you could stand? Did I say you could speak? I love how you tremble, you look so unique! A court made of cardboard, a tribunal of lies Look at the terror lit up in your eyes! You set up the wickets, you laid out the game Now you’re all shivering, taking the blame The hedge maze is closing, the gavel is down Look at the temper that's shaking the crown! Paint every petal till the garden bleeds! You grew the thorn, but I command the seeds! Bend down the knee or forfeit the crown Off with their heads when the hammer comes down! I write the verdict before you begin, Did you really think that a pawn gets to win? The rulebook is ash and the jury is dead Step out of line, off with your head! Are you asking for a fair trial? Sentence first! Verdict after! OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! Paint every petal till the garden bleeds... You grew the thorn, but I command the seeds... Bend down the knee or forfeit the crown... Off with their heads when the hammer comes down... Paint every petal till the garden bleeds! You grew the thorn, but I command the seeds! Bend down the knee or forfeit the crown Off with their heads when the hammer comes down! I write the verdict before you begin, Did you really think that a pawn gets to win? The rulebook is ash and the jury is dead Step out of line, off with your head! Sentence served... Next case.
