first republic

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

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
