Sitting at the head of your toxic table
Whose legs have given up
The frigid queen from an ancient fable
Drinking from a tarnished cup
You grin beneath a broken crown
Won't let the truth get you down
The peasants are talking, but you won't hear their words
Looking out on your crumbling kingdom
From the seat of your plastic throne
Breaking promises of blissful freedom
You keep it for your own
Soon no one's left around
Your serfs have gone and left town
After stabbing theirs, it seems nobody's got your back
And I saw it coming
No surprise today
And I tried to help you
But I got pushed away
They won't see the tears
You're too afraid to cry
When it's weakness that you fear
It's just something in your eye
They can never know
Stepping through your empty empire
And I'm sure you're happy now
With rubbled streets, abandoned campfires
You're a toppled sacred cow
But still, you think today's your day
No one to dispute what you say
As long as your guard's up you can skew it how you want
