lyrics

Well I grew up
in a South New England town
It’s a place
where democracy abounds

I like this system
it seems to work the whole year through
but wouldn’t it be funny
If a castle sprung up from the ground
you didn’t see that coming, hey!

November with short sleeves on
We plow the fields and feel so alone
maybe we can randomly bring a
monarchy,

I wish to be King!
I wish to be King!
I wish to be King!
So I can rule the land with all my generosity and kindness

With trumpets blaring
I’d write some charters
Knight some awesome people
propose a decree

I’ll have a crown
and a throne to sit on when I tire
but wouldn’t it be funny
If I wore a robe made out of fir
to piss off animal rights activists

Bows, arrows, and a towering keep
a drawbridge over a moat of green water
maybe we can randomly bring a
monarchy,

I wish to be King!
I wish to be King!
I wish to be King!
So I can rule the land with all my generosity and kindness
