Press Release Lyrics

The light breeze on the Nile accentuates the heat

Summer's coming in, and Cairo feels the beat

On every single road, and every single street

From the drum of modern life

From the drum of royalty

The king is overwhelmed, so he sleeps through the day

Without the pyramid as his hideaway

He questions who he is, does not know what to say

To those he claims to love, who now know he's insane

Every time that the queen checks his room

There he is, so mundane, but consumed

Heaven knows what the king has to hide

Maybe it's that there's nothing inside

The Suez holds the news, from both West and the East

When folks pass others folks, it's Egypt's press release

Of this, the king's aware, so thus while he's asleep

He worries for the day the news will hit the streets

The loss of privacy should not fuck you up

The primal notion that alone is not enough

Is countered by the few with lives so full of crime

But also by the few who have nothing to hide
