FIrst Repulic - Manic Street Preachers

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 went out play yes we went out play

In burnt out palace ruins

You once gave us war racism and slavery

Cut out all our tongues and f**ked our industry

Now you've revealed something you're human after all this

But let's clap our hands and f**k our dear princess

I crown myself myself a king

And declare a first republic

We went out play yes we went out play

In burnt out palace ruins

I crown myself myself a king

And declare a first republic

We went out play yes we went out 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
