laws have to go as petulant kings command
that is the way and we must all comply
we bow before the scented royal hand
laws have to go as petulant kings command

the spokesman's answer is studied and bland
his smiling mouth gives forth the obvious lie
laws have to go as petulant kings command
that is the way and we must all comply

the sun itself seems dimmer in the sky
our king is saddened see his weary brow
bottle his tears if he should chance to cry
the sun itself seems dimmer in the sky

honesty's vanished and we can't tell how
the sun itself seems dimmer in the sky
our king is saddened see his weary brow

old principles they are not needed now
raw noble power must govern all the land
all good traditions we must disavow
old principles they are not needed now

we're governed by the mad boar and sow
they tell us that we just won't understand
old principles they are not needed now
raw noble power must govern all the land
