Time To Face The Music (Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music)

(copyright Steven Cavanagh 1993-2002)

Leader of the Trade Federation
Conqueror in every way
An army into mechanisation
and a Sith with nothing to say

We sent out all our army
off to fight the gungans, y'know
then something happened quickly (yes it did)
some people busted through my window

Then there was shooting, confusion, the battle droids were losin'
Amidala, had tricked me, and then a guard came up and said:
It's time to face the music, Viceroy
Time to face the music, right?
Time to face the music, Viceroy
Now, as it should be, you'll kiss that trade franchise of yours goodbye

It started with the Jedi
I didn't know how strong was the Force
the gas- it did not kill them
and so I had to "close the blast doors!"

I sent for the destroyers
who went and chased the Jedi away
I thought I had victory
until the queen returned on that day

and there was shooting, confusion, the battle droids were losin'
Amidala, had tricked me, and then a guard came up and said:
It's time to face the music, Viceroy
Time to face the music, right?
Time to face the music, Viceroy
Now, as it should be, you'll kiss that trade franchise of yours goodbye
