Lyrics[]
[Spoken intro]
Hey, darling
Know any bands for my... play my party?
Umm, I don't know
How 'bout Fall Out Boy?
[Chorus]
The king is dead! (Long live the king)
The king is dead! (Long live the king)
The king is dead! (Long live the king)
The king is dead!
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I said lord be my savior
Please don't, we've been doomed from the start
Now, we're so dismissive
So the king cannot play the part
[Chorus]
Yeah, I said, "The king is dead!" (Long live the king)
Yeah, I said, "The king is dead!" (Long live the king)
Yeah, I said yeah
[Verse 2]
They may never think
And wonder why, dear Christ
Every time I see you
I just want to paint the walls white
[Chorus]
Yeah, I said, "The king is dead!" (Long live the king)
Yeah, I said, "The king is dead!" (Long live the king)
Yeah, I said yeah
Dead
