Lyrics Build a New Tomorrow - Cast of Galavant, Matt Lucas

Build a New Tomorrow

We’ve been trying something new in the dominion
Since you went away-
With no king upon the throne
We’ve all been left alone
To build a new tomorrow here today
Right
What if every single soul with an opinion
Got to have their say?
If on every point of note
We simply took a vote
We build a new tomorrow here today!
So the butcher gets a vote?
Yup!
The baker gets a vote?
Yup!
And everyone who couldn’t vote before!
Except of course the women
And we won’t let him or him in
We mean everybody else
Except the poor!
Progressive for the middle ages
Meh
Then we vote on ev’ry pressing public question
Either-
Yay!
Or-
Nay!
Nice
Everybody gets to choose
Except the you-know-whos
As we build a new tomorrow here today!
If you’d like to make a statement or suggestion
Simply stand
Ooh!
And hey!
Him?
Every person counts the same
Except of course the lame
…and the lepers!
…and the gingers!
…and the witches!
…and the heathens!
…and the bastards!
…and the gypsies!
…and the commies!
…and the hippies!
As we build a new tomorrow!
A fair and square tomorrow!
A more aware tomorrow here tomorrow today!
So we all would march together towards the future
Well not «all» per se
Just the ones who look like me!
It’s called democracy…
The landed-
And the wealthy-
And the pious-
And the healthy-
And the straight ones-
And the pale ones-
And we only mean the male ones!
If you’re all of the above, then you’re ok!
As we build a new tomorrow here today!
