First Republic

You are so alone in
Kensington Palace
We should be content in
These damned 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 wanna play, yes, we wanna play
In burnt out palace ruins

You once gave us war
Racism and slavery
Cut out all our tongues
And fucked our industry
