lyrics

Let’s make a king
Yeah, let’s make a king

Let’s tie our hands down to the tracks
Let’s make the world look flat
Let’s cut the tongues before they ever learn to sing
Let’s burn the homes to warm our hands
Plant our flags on foreign lands
Let’s leave the fingers and take the rings

Let’s make a king
Let’s make a king

We’ll keep one alive to tell the tale
Let’s lock the doors with nails
Let’s let the necks all snap and those bodies swing
Let’s turn away from all we had before
Cause we’ve been promised so much more
And we can’t wait to see what this day brings

Let’s make a king
Let’s make a king

Let's shine a single beam of light
Shine it right up to the sky
Let's make a man into the law of the land
And raise him up on high

Let's praise our lord and our savior
Let's call the votes all in our favor
And anyway they never really meant a thing
Let's break the unions and choke the schools
Give the press a few hard rules
The birds will sing on this bright and blessed spring

Let’s make a king
Let’s make a king
