lyrics

Ruling from your castle with paper ceilings and ceramic floors,
Upon your throne of bitter dreams, with dominion over sorry shores.
Presiding blindly,
You never earned your crown,
And in the blackness,
You’re pride comes crashing down.

Rent a tyrant,
Pounding veins,
The times afford no friends,
Rent a tyrant,
It’ll haunt you,
In the end,
In the end.

You ask what is going wrong and are notified it’s going fine,
You ask if you’re doing ill and are told that all you do’s benign.
A pampered blue-blood,
Inherits everything,
While in the bleakness,
They’re screaming ‘end the king.’

Rent a tyrant,
Pounding veins,
The times afford no friends,
Rent a tyrant,
It’ll haunt you,
In the end,
In the end.
