The Emperors New Clothes |
| We’ve seen it before |
| The high flying act |
| Is it manic delusion |
| Or a statement of fact |
| That hot fevered brow |
| Them bright shining eyes |
| The hand on the heart |
| Those self serving lies |
| It’s an ancient tradition |
| But everyone knows |
| Them gaudy old rags |
| Are the emperor’s new clothes |
| We’ve heard it before |
| Your ego parade |
| You’re always so sure |
| A hollow charade |
| You promise the moon |
| An' squander the earth |
| The only person you fool |
| Is yourself |
| It’s an ancient condition |
| But everyone knows |
| Them gaudy old rags |
| Are the emperor’s new clothes |
| We’ve seen it before |
| Those crocodile tears |
| The well should’a run dry |
| It’s been so many years |
| You throw us a bone |
| Then ask for it back |
| The only thing you own |
| You stole from our backs |
| It’s an ancient religion |
| But everyone knows |
| Them gaudy old rags |
| Are the emperor’s new clothes |
