The Herd - The King Is Dead

What a lovely song to celebrate the downfall of John Howard! :) very clever lyrics!We danced like new years eve We danced from sheer relief Everything must change The people that you projected as We were nothing of the sort it sold us all short Put down the champagne No toast to the legacy(no way) And all the propaganda of prosperity That`s what a machine does and they don`t need therapy You turned us into a nation of haters Far right appeaser believer in whatever get you leader Dog whistle through the speakers see who bites it I noticed a hell of a lot of people liked it An ethical choice is simpler if you price it Conquer by dividing that`s why you admired him? unless pushed we would never have retired him Fuckin pirate history will damn him once it seemed like nothing can damage him [UNKLE HO MANDARIN - ??] Crook, you got your arse played in Mandarin Finally the King is Dead, we cried off with his head Everything must change, Everything must change We danced like new years eve We danced from relief Everything must change, nothing stays the same Nothing stays the same oh, Nothing stays the same oh Yeah Cats I know are feeling just like the rapture I can tell who this mood is failing to capture It`s like somebody finally did light that match up And burn down the parliament, learned from the argument Can`t be non-partisan, when you`re an artist And you put your heart in it, and that`s not even the half of it Like my man said, we`re talking butter and bread Better if his words were never uttered again Mostly vindictive, who could have predicted Just a few tax breaks to keep us all addicted The dickhead dictator leader imitator Made me feel immature when I said I hate ya Did you read the paper the day after and hear the laughter? I`ll read it to you, it starts with M McKew and ends with you No broader view from the people on your ship that you used to call crew Huh! That`s typical, now I guess it`s difficult For the type of person who only thinks of individual No residual, you`ll see our resilience Take your bat and ball and head for the pavilion Finally the King is Dead, we cried off with his head Everything must change, Everything must change We danced like new years eve We danced from relief Everything must change, nothing stays the same Nothing stays the same oh, Nothing stays the same oh We danced like new years eve We danced from sheer relief Everything must change Just promise me this, no rose petal glasses, quickly confine him to part of the past Just promise me this, no rose petal glasses, quickly confine him to part of the past Finally the King is Dead, we cried off with his head Everything must change, Everything must change We danced like new years eve We danced from relief Everything must change, nothing stays the same Finally the King is Dead, we cried off with his head Everything must change, Everything must change We danced like new years eve We danced from relief Everything must change, nothing stays the same Nothing stays the same oh, Nothing stays the same oh http://profile.myspace.com/ind...
