the king is dead
cuz we killed him
off with his head
now we are the villains
oh how he bled
and it thrilled us
off with his head
now we are the villains
over and over again
you always do the same damn thing
overthrow your own friends
double standards to the end
always wearing your disguise
this will be your demise
the ones you idolize become the ones you victimize
the queen is dead
cuz we killed her
off with her head
now we are the villains
oh how she bled
and it thrilled us
off with her head
now we are the villains
you choose to be what you destroy
cheap theatrics you employ
you cannot see what you create
you have become the thing you hate
you’re blind to all you love
and all your wisdom from above
it’s cheap and used and you’ve abused your right we’ve had enough
oh how you bled
and it thrilled us
off with your heads
you are the villains
the queen is dead
cuz we killed her
the king is dead
now we are the villains
