Lyrics
Across the arid wasteland
Symbolizing a barren and desolate environment.
Beyond the rising sea
Referring to a distant and challenging journey or future.
The people gathering as one
Reflecting unity and gathering of people in the wasteland.
A never-ending hunger
Describing an insatiable and perpetual desire.
The vultures soaring overhead
Indicating the presence of opportunistic scavengers.
The feast of riches has begun
Depicting the commencement of a lavish and indulgent celebration.
Now the crowd is chanting
Portraying the crowd vocalizing and expressing themselves.
Hear their voices crying out
Highlighting the collective outcry of the people.
The good old king is dead
Announcing the demise of a respected figure.
Off with its head
Suggesting a radical shift or rebellion.
As moonless night approaches
Anticipating a dark and uncertain period.
Our empty palms will light the way
Emphasizing the symbolic guidance of emptiness in difficult times.
Almighty dollar burns to ash
Representing the destruction of the value associated with money.
The stars are spinning faster now
Expressing a sense of disorientation or chaos.
We cry, but they don't hear a sound
Conveying the futility of expressing distress.
The world around us fades to black
Describing a gradual loss of the familiar world.
Now the crowd is marching
Illustrating a unified and purposeful movement of the crowd.
Hear their voices shouting out
Reiterating the forceful expression of collective voices.
The good old king is dead
Reaffirming the overthrow of the established authority.
Off with its head
Reinforcing the call for radical change.
Make it happen
Encouraging action and initiative.
Get boot strappin'
Promoting self-reliance and hard work.
Your work ethic
Criticizing a perceived lack of dedication to work.
Is pathetic
Expressing dissatisfaction with a perceived lack of effort.
No free handouts
Rejecting the idea of receiving something for free.
Only bailouts
Commenting on financial assistance provided selectively.
Hands are bloody
Imagery of involvement in morally questionable actions.
Time is money
Emphasizing the association of time with monetary value.
Spare no dollar
Advocating for prioritizing financial interests.
Screw blue collar
Disregarding or belittling manual labor.
Drowning debtor
Describing a person overwhelmed by financial obligations.
Won't get better
Suggesting a pessimistic view of the future.
Always bruising
Highlighting persistent struggles and challenges.
Always losing
Expressing a recurring sense of defeat.
Always striving
Emphasizing continual effort despite setbacks.
Always dying
Conveying a bleak perspective on life.
And now we declare
Declaring the end of the established authority.
The good old king is dead
Reiterating the overthrow of the established authority.
Off with its head
Reinforcing the call for radical change.
Yeah
Concluding with a resolute affirmation of change.
