The Kingdom Songtext
von DEADLETTER

In the kingdom we reside
Our corners in which heathens dwell
Great fields where the cash is sown
Fortunes reaped and profits grown

And have you heard of county lines?
Transport and spread, transport and spread
And no concern for what′s in store
Detest, denounce, dethrone, deplore

And 10 'til four are check in times
Please wipe your feet before you enter
Your obedience is much acknowledged
Much like a session man at music college

Well some of you′ll get patriotic
And reminisce at times that were
And cries of "mighty empire" follows
Well, that's all propaganda stale and hollow

The kingdom! The kingdom
The kingdom! The kingdom


Before we'd even convalesced
Right arms chased heaven
Silent heroes of a post brawl time
Just like planets undermined
And hero culture′s rife as rain

Old man drags around his yard
To cheers and claps and thoughts and prayers
Well we′ll spunk to this for many years
We'll spunk to this for many years

The kingdom! The kingdom
The kingdom! The kingdom

Television′s metaphysical
All fucking, dating, cooking, baking
And people pushed to purgatory
By sponges sodden vehemently

Significance of art negated
Hold dear and cuddle up to works
That pick apart and mock the road
This shipwreck surely sails towards

As if we'd ever assemble hoards
Or denounce advertisement boards
Just ain′t the way that us lot roll
Yes, hesitance will take it's toll


The kingdom! The kingdom
The kingdom! (Who knows what will become of-)
The kingdom
The kingdom! king-king-king-kingdom
The kingdom
The kingdom! The kingdom
Hold the keys unto the kingdom
