No Kings

He wants a parade to show off his might
For his birthday, flags flying bright
But he doesn’t care ‘bout you or me
So much for the land of the free

No kings, no kings
No dictators, thrones, crowns or rings
No kings, no kings
No more masters pulling the strings

He shuts down the voices that fill the streets
Calls ‘em thugs when they march for peace
Truth gets silenced, laws get bent
He thinks the people are malcontents

No kings, no kings
No dictators, thrones, crowns or rings
No kings, no kings
No more masters pulling the strings

We’ve seen these kings so many times
Wrapped in flags and selling lies
They rise on fear and fall on pride
Predictable criminals in disguise

The spell is breaking, the game is old
Tyrants can’t buy what can't be sold
We’re wide awake, we’re drawing the line
The age of kings is bound to die

No kings, no kings
No dictators, thrones, crowns or rings
No kings, no kings
No more masters pulling the strings
