lyrics

OATH OF ALLEGIANCE

I swear an oath of allegiance
For the good of humanity to everyone and everything
And if I could be king for a day
For the good of our society I’d deconstruct the monarchy

A toxic constitution with
An abusive history
For the divine right of kings
To create an impoverished majority

And if I could be king for a day
I’d apologise for everything
I’d swear an oath to common people
To dismantle this hypocrisy

And all of the rights
That come with my crown
The Blood on my hands
That life handed down
The surfs and the suffering
Of feudal society
The thieves and the thievery
The slaves and the slavery
The bricks and the mortar
Of the church and the slaughter
I’d apologise for history
And tear apart the monarchy

I would thrown myself down
Prostrate on the floor
A figure of division
No more

If I could be King for a day
I’d aplogise for the hypocrisy
I’d swear an oath to all of my people
To dismantle the monarchy
If I could be King for a day
I’d aplogise for the hypocrisy
I’d swear an oath to all of my people
To dismantle the monarchy

The king was in his counting house
Counting out our money
The maid was in the poorhouse
Dreaming of bread and honey
While most of us toil well the King he relaxes
He has maximum wealth for zero taxes

Landlords of aristocracy
They don’t mean that much to me
These foolish clowns in stolen crowns
Monarchs of hypocrisy
They stole their lands and stole their riches
Their hand me down gowns with silken stitches

Hey sisters
Hey brothers
Hey sisters
Hey brothers
We don’t need this institution
Hey Sisters
Hey brothers
Hey sisters
Hey brothers
We don’t need this constitution

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
We don’t need this monarchist groove
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
We don’t need this monarchist groove
We don’t need this monarchist groove
We don’t need this monarchist groove

If I could be King for a day
I’d aplogise for the hypocrisy
I’d swear an oath to all of my people
To dismantle the monarchy
