First Republic Lyrics

First Republic lyrics

(Music: James Dean Bradfield/Sean Moore; Lyrics: Nicky Wire)
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 the 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
That 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 the 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
the burnt out palace ruins
