Manic Street Preachers - First Republic lyrics

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