The Herd - The King is Dead lyrics

We dance like New Year's Eve, we
We dance from sheer relief, whoa oh
Everything must change
The people that you projected us as
We were nothing of the sort
Sold us all short put down the champagne
No toast to the legacy
(No way) And all the propaganda of prosperity
That's what a machine does and
They don't need therapy
You turned us into a nation of haters
Far-right appeaser
Believer in whatever kept you leader
Dog whistle through the speakers
See who bites it
I noticed a hell of a lot of people liked it
(That's right)
An ethical choice is simpler if you price it
Conquer by dividing
That's why you admired him?
Unless pushed we would never have retired him


(No way)
Fuckin' pirate, history will damn him
Once it seemed like nothing could damage him
三十六计，走为上策
Crook, you got your arse played in Mandarin

Finally the king is dead
We cried "Off with his
Head!" Everything must change
Everything must change
Everything must change
We dance like New Year's Eve
We dance from relief, everything must change
(Nothing stays the same)
Nothing stays the same, oh
(Nothing stays the same, oh)
Nothing stays the same, oh

Yeah
Cats I know are feeling this like the rapture
(yeah) and I can tell who this
Mood is failing to capture (Chin up)
It's like somebody finally did
Light that match up
And burned down the parliament
Learned from the argument
Can't be non partisan
When you're an artist and
You put your heart in it
That's not even the half of it
Like my man said
We're talking butter and bread
Better if his words were never uttered again
Mostly vindictive, who could have predicted
Just a few tax breaks to keep us all addicted
The dickhead dictator, leader imitator

Made me feel immature when I said "I hate ya"
But did you read the paper the
Day after and hear the laughter?
I'll read it to you, it starts with M mcKew
And ends with you, no broader view
For the people on your ship who
You used to call crew, ha
That's typical, now I guess it's difficult
(yeah) for the type of person who
Only thinks of individual
No residual, you'll see our resilience
Take your bat and ball
And head for the pavilion

Finally the king is dead
We cried "Off with his
Head!" Everything must change
Everything must change
Everything must change
We dance like New Year's Eve
We dance from relief, everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Nothing stays the same, oh
(Nothing stays the same, oh)
Nothing stays the same, oh

We dance like New Year's Eve, we
We dance from sheer relief, whoa oh
Everything must change

Just promise me this no rose-petal glasses
Quickly cosign him to part of our past
Just promise me this no rose-petal glasses
Quickly cosign him to part of our past

Finally the king is dead
We cried "Off with his
Head!" Everything must change
Everything must change
Everything must change
We dance like New Year's Eve
We dance from relief, everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Nothing stays the same
Finally the king is dead
We cried "Off with his
Head!" Everything must change
Everything must change
Everything must change Everything must change
We dance like New Year's Eve
We dance from relief, everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Nothing stays the same, oh
(Nothing stays the same, oh)
Nothing stays the same, oh
Everything must change
Nothing stays the same, oh
Nothing stays the same, oh, whoa oh
Everything must change
