First Republic lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I crown myself, myself a king
And declare a first republic
We want to play, yes we want to play
In burnt out palace ruins

[Verse 2]
You once gave us war, racism and slavery
Cut out all our tongues and f*cked our industry
Now you've revealed something, you're human after all this
But let's clap our hands and f*ck our dear princess

[Chorus]
I crown myself, myself a king
And declare a first republic
We want to play, yes we want to play
In burnt out palace ruins

[Chorus]
I crown myself, myself a king
And declare a first republic
We want to play, yes we want to play
In burnt out palace ruins
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I crown myself, myself a king
And declare a first republic
We want to play, yes we want to play
In burnt out palace ruins
