lyrics

Chapter 25: Postscript

Did you know
It's a key regal dignity, oh for sure,
To taste good?
He's a well-seasoned leader, a salty germ!

And all told,
At the grand coronation he's crimped and curled
With some oil,
While a holy significance gives the foil.

Take one, take two, take three,
Take all of it.
We view the rule of kings
As sodomy!

We know what kind of men are you,
Given fully to pompous fools.

So often,
A contemptible signifier for men,
Like or not,
Is the well-oiled nature of every lock.

Safe to say
That a king wouldn't use the same oil as they.
Fancy pants
Needs the oil from the free men who bear the lance.

Take one, take two, take three,
Take all of it.
We view the rule of kings
As sodomy!
