The Laws Have Changed Lyrics

The Laws Have Changed lyrics

The New Pornographers - The Laws Have Changed



it was crime at the time

but the laws, we changed 'em

though the hero for hire's

forever the same one



introducing for the first time

Pharaoh on the microphone

sing all hail

what'll be revealed today

when we peer into the great unknown

from the line to the throne?



awakened to cheers after years on the faultline

we are shocked to be here

in the face of the meantime

Pharaoh, all your methods have taught me

is to separate my blood from bone



it will all fail

feeling what i feel today

when we peer into the great unknown

from the line to the throne



form a line through here

form a line to the throne



alone in the chain

it remains to be seen how

how well you can play

when the pawn takes a queen now



it was crime at the time

but the laws have changed

yeah
