Cnut, the Dyslexic King Songtext
von TISM

Oh, suffering people
Hear me sing
Of Cnut
The dyslexic king
You only have to
Meet him once
To know that he′s a
Total dunce

"The people hate you
Hear their cries!'
But Cnut saw
With his own eyes
"You complete cunt"
Their placards read
"Hey, look, they love me!"
Cnut said

By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked, this way, comes


King Cnut
(In a business suit)

And Cnut
Wore a business suit
And fluoro at
The photoshoot
And Cnut said
"The times are good"
Fire came
He was told it would

When floods came to
And people drown
Does he give a fuck?
Not deep down
"I do not have to
Do a thing
That′s what it means
To be the king!"


By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked, this way, comes
Tongue of dog and eye of newt
All hail thee, King Cnut!

A surgeon heals
The patient's pain
Years of study
Skill and brains
"These people I've
Betrayed and hurt
There′s thousands cleaning
Up my dirt!"

A parent nurtures
Lovers swoon
Physicists took
Men to the moon
Cnut does not
Do a thing
′Cause that's what it means
To be the king!

King Cnut
King Cnut
King Cnut (by the pricking of my thumbs)
(Something wicked, this way, comes)
King Cnut (tongue of dog and eye of newt)
(All hail thee, King Cnut!)

That′s Cnut's view
He ran the show
Just like a modern
CEO
No need for more
Description but
We′ve all had bosses
Like Cnut

Cnut finally
Met his fate
Overthrown by
Otto the Great
And Otto was
Dyslexic, too
But 'cause of his name
No one knew
