MANIC STREET PREACHERS - First Republic lyrics

rate me

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

I crown myselfmyself a king

And declare a first republic

We want to playyes we want to play

In burnt out palace ruins

You once gave us warracism and slavery

Cut out all our tongues and fucked our industry

Now you've revealed somethingyou're human after all this

But let's clap our hands and fuck our dear princess

I crown myselfmyself a king

And declare a first republic

We want to playyes we want to play

In burnt out palace ruins

I crown myselfmyself a king

And declare a first republic

We want to playyes we want to play

In burnt out palace ruins

I crown myselfmyself a king

And declare a first republic

We want to playyes we want to play

In burnt out palace ruins
