God Save the Queen

God save the queen
The queen is dead
The king took the queen
Out behind the old shed and did what
He had to do
All of these voices inside of my head
They tell me to stay locked inside of my bedroom
Until I forget you
But I could never forget you
Hard work and hard drugs
They get you the same
A hole in the ground
Without a dime to your name if you’re lucky
You’ll find yourself in the backseat
On the way to the factory where they make all the bombs
I think I hate modernity
Maybe I’d be better off
Taking out the trash
I think I hate modernity
Maybe I’d be better off
Dying in a trench than dying at a desk
God save god bless
What a fucking mess
Another rote colonizer
Laid to rest with an anthem
Adults throwing tantrums
Handsome to you
Ransom to me
I can’t see the woods for the sake of the trees
In my psyche
They look just like me
Queen Elizabeth the second
Sailing the sea
She never wanted you like this,
She never wanted you free
She wanted modernity
Modernity for you and me
And I think I hate modernity
Queen Elizabeth the second
Sailing the sea
Never wanted you to miss her silver jubilee
Be a good little kiddy and run along

But he still writes plenty of songs about girls, too. ... more
