They noticed something strange,
The king was hanging laymen,
For not doing as he’d say,
And the laymen they were hungry,
And the kings were getting fat,
They lounged around on silken sofas,
So the laymen they got angry,
But the kings they never new,
So the laymen got together,
And decided the king needed to be slew.
We need a Fresh Revolution,
We got a guillotine for execution,
We need a Fresh Revolution,
We’re all ready for some,
Well the laymen they got weapons,
And the king didn’t check his locks,
He got dragged out of the palace,
In his under pants and socks,
And that king he tried to bargain,
But his soul was full of dread,
The laymen knew he was lying,
So they chopped off his bastard head!
We need a Fresh Revolution,
We got a guillotine for execution,
We’ll have a Fresh Revolution,
Well Paris was still angry,
The streets ran red with blood,
But the carnage wasn’t over,
Until the queen was dead and gone!
Well that queen she was real pretty,
With her shining emerald jewels,
But the laymen knew she woulda killed them,
So they took off her head too!
Step to the guillotine for execution,
We’re past due for evolution,
That king he had some children,
And then they had children too,
They lost the crowns and bought some suits,
And now they rule over you!
Well now DC’s got some Barons,
And some Ladies and some Lords,
They’re the unofficial Monarchs,
Sending cops up to your doors,
We need a Fresh Revolution,
Got a guillotine for execution,
