We dance from sheer relief, whoa-oh
A                 E
  Everything must change
 
[Verse 1]
    Bm
The people that you projected us as
        D
We were nothing of the sort, sold us all short
    A
Put down the champagne, no toast to the legacy
       E
(No way) And all the propaganda of prosperity
Bm
That's what a machine does and they don't need therapy
    D
You turned us into a nation of haters
           A
Far-right appeaser. believer in whatever kept you leader
E
Dog whistle through the speakers, see who bites it
Bm
 I noticed a hell of a lot of people liked it (That's right)
D
 An ethical choice is simpler if you price it
A
Conquer by dividing, that's why you admired him?
E
 Unless pushed we would never have retired him (No way)
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm
 f**kin' pirate, history will damn him
D
 Once it seemed like nothing could damage him
A
三十六计，走为上策 [Mandarin]
E
Crook, you got your arse played in Mandarin
 
[Chorus]

Finally the king is dead

We cried "Off with his head!"

 Nothing stays the same, oh
A
 
E
 Yeah
 
[Verse 2]
Bm
 Cats I know are feeling this like the rapture (Yeah)
    D
And I can tell who this mood is failing to capture (Chin up)
A
It's like somebody finally did light that match up
    E
And burned down the parliament, learned from the argument
Bm
Can't be non-partisan, when you're an artist and
D
You put your heart in it, that's not even the half of it
A
Like my man said, we're talking butter and bread
E
Better if his words were never uttered again
Bm
Mostly vindictive, who could have predicted
D
Just a few tax breaks to keep us all addicted
    A
The dickhead dictator, leader imitator (Imitator)
E
Made me feel immature when I said "I hate ya"
    Bm
But did you read the paper the day after
             D
And hear the laughter? I'll read it to you, it starts with
     A
M. McKew and ends with you, no broader view
        E
For the people on your ship who you used to call crew
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm
Ha, that's typical, now I guess it's difficult (Yeah)
D
For the type of person who only thinks of individual
A
No residual, you'll see our resilience
E
Take your bat and ball, and head for the pavilion

[Bridge]
Bm
 Just promise me this
D
 No rose-petal glasses
A
 Quickly cosign him
E
 To part of our past
