Yellow King Lyrics

Orange King King! Yellow King King! Gold King King King!

Orange King King! Yellow King King! Gold King King King!

Orange King King! Yellow King King! Gold King King King!

Make my subjects fear others then they'll obey

We'll get our way; they'll do what we say

We'll use alternative facts to drive our foes hence

Break all their nerves, fritter all their sense

A truth denounced daily becomes a lie

A lie pronounced daily becomes a truth

Let my subjects' anger create an uproar

We'll use the media to get our encore

Everyone chant our derisive refrain

Let division reign! Let division reign!

Go dearest children of my care

To practice avarice beyond repair

Guard my prerogative, assert my throne

This nod confirms each privilege we own

The laws won't stop us though some may look askance

We'll make governors fiddle, make senators dance!

Remember politicians are abject things

Born to do our bidding, as slaves for kings

I, the tyrant supreme! shall three states command!

And make one mighty DUNCIAD of the land!

Fame's trumpet blows

All the media summoned to his throne

All those who feel fame's inward sway

One instinct seizes and transports away

None need a guide by sure attraction led

And by Algorithms their desire fed

The stupefied masses applauded the rich

As they steered the economy into a ditch

As they fed themselves favors from taxpayers' gold

Lobbying for their interests as the economy implodes

From behind golden gates they watched the country burn

Calculating how much of a profit they'd earn

Wars and viruses spread all across the realm

While the President doddered at the helm

Tactical responses in each office slept

His indifference over each committee crept

Lackeys followed orders, scientists were disdained

Deny all and lie became the name of the game

He sang to distract the nation with his "build a wall" song

Gone was a sense of shame and of right and wrong

"What you do to the least" becomes a lie

Those words of Christ are betrayed and die
