First Republic

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

I crown myself, myself a king

And declare a first republic

We want to play, yes we want to play

In burnt out palace ruins

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

I crown myself, myself a king

And declare a first republic

We want to play, yes we want to play

In burnt out palace ruins

[Chorus]

I crown myself, myself a king

And declare a first republic

We want to play, yes we want to play

In burnt out palace ruins

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

I crown myself, myself a king

And declare a first republic

We want to play, yes we want to play

In burnt out palace ruins
