FIRST REPUBLIC
|
|
You are so alone in
|
Kensington Palace
|
We should be content in
|
These damned 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 wanna play, yes we wanna 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
|
|
|
