lyrics

No sooner have you had yourself a hero up on the pedestal you built,
You wanna see them back were they started at the bottom of the barrel,
The expectations in the faces of the ones who love to point their fingers from the safety of their arm chairs,
They're shaking their fists saying things like “I’ll give you something to smile about!” “If I’m going down, you're coming down with me.”
You’re coming down with me,
Your money were your mouth is if your certain,
Hands were I can see them for the million dollar question,
Good night midnight over,
Your face was a picture, your face was a picture.
So what’s the plan of action now?
Defence! Defence!
You all jumped the gun,
So every once in a while,
Stick two fingers up you call that a revolution?
Run!
Better late than never,
Before you know it you’re six feet under,
White as a sheet and all the color,
It drains from your face over and over again,
So raise your glasses to pulling punches you're all part of this charade,
And who’d have thought it we had it coming are we as stupid as we look?
They’ll pull the rug out from under your feet because it’s right under your nose,
Its black and white it’s as clear as day your all part of the charade,
My famous last words not bat an eyelid yours sincerely ‘The King’,
With a pinch of salt and your tongue in cheek you’re all part of this charade,
I’ve seen and done it,
I’ve brought the t-shirt,
You’re all part of this charade.
