Of Up and Coming Monarchs Songtext
von Pedro the Lion

sunken ships rest
upon the ocean floor
where i′ve made my home
to dodge the draft once more
there once was a time when one could flee to the north
but canada's not what she used to be
boycott the war, well she could not afford to
thanks to the new american queen


swim with me
and we′ll escape all the troubles of the present age
finally free

the mermaids teach us
how to breathe beneath
the line that now divides
action from apathy

swim with me
and we'll escape all the troubles of the present age
finally free
