The Men Who Would Be King

(앨범: Peace - 2020)

Yesterday I swore to you
We'd go without a fight
But that's before they beat her down
So let the spark ignite
The cops came too
And laughed at her
All broken on the floor
When she tried to raise herself
They said do you want some more

My lady is a red head thing
Fierce and yet serene
But this girl's a fighter
She's the bearer of my dreams
Father was a drinking man
Who'd take his belt to her
Until she kicked his balls in
And left suburbia

The dice are loaded
The deck is stacked
The game is rigged
So turn 'em back
Now they are upon us
The men who would be king
We hold our love
We hold our hope
We do no following
But now they are upon us
The men who would be king

So we brace ourselves again
For yet another charge
From plastic shields
Iron bars and advertising boards
Against this tide of rising hate
We'll let go of our fears
And for every class it infiltrates
We shed another tear

The dice are loaded
The deck is stacked
The game is rigged
So turn 'em back
Now they are upon us
The men who would be king
We hold our love
We hold our hope
We do no following
But now they are upon us
The men who would be king

For each and every one of us
Is worth more than all their kings
