Lyrics

Mad kings of the world


Mad kings of the world
Topple them over

The first man who had built a gun
Got it stolen from his hands
The thief he had a masterplan
One only he could understand
But you don't have to get it, just to follow on this land
As ages pass me by, it's getting hard to make a stand
Against the mad kings of the world

Sometimes the sun looks far away
Other times it scalds your brain
Sometimes you stand on solid ground
Or in a crashing aeroplane
Trying to make ends meet is turning the old lady pale
Lots of people care about high waters in Clarksdale
But not the mad kings of the world

Mad kings of the world
Topple them over
Today
Do it today

Louisiana Hayride came
And went with rockabilly's rise
The power chords burst in a blaze
Pulsed in the electric skies
Now you don't have to worry, just to nod and clap your hands
Today it's just as good as anything to make a stand
Against the mad kings of the world
