Lyrics

Why take a man and make him a king?
Worship false idols who don’t know a thing
This social contract isn’t working well,
Where the one in power sends us to hell.

Why take a man and make him pope,
Spreading lies and creating false hope,
Love graces all regardless of faith,
For those with pure hearts salvation awaits

Kingdom of heaven, kingdom of men,
Will anyone put us together again,
Fetid devotion to weapons and wealth
Too little focus on the people themselves

War of the Roses, red and white
No matter the color they all came to fight
Some fought for pride, others for fame
Tudor, Lancaster, and York were their names

Why put a country at war
Scores of lives lost and who knows what for
The only ones profiting from all of the fear
Are the companies making the swords and the spears

Kingdom of heaven, kingdom of men,
Will anyone put us together again,
Fetid devotion to weapons and wealth
Too little focus on the people themselves
