Louis XIV |
| (May I bring you up to date? |
| We are living in the 20'th century not in the 1800's |
| May I bring you up to date, sir? |
| We are not alive at all) |
| This isn’t Napoleon this isn’t Bonaparte this is fate |
| This isn’t Josephine she’s still in the tent |
| This isn’t the Holy Mother Mary on the balcony of Judas |
| This is Louis, Louis the sun king |
| Louis Quatorze he was the fire king |
| He had disgrace there was no finer prince |
| He had this whole department structured up in Maine |
| This is Louis, Louis the sun king |
| He sacked the Pope who played the pawn in Venezuela |
| (In Venezuela they have lots of cocaine) |
| The cocaine drug is sending people to their magic maker |
| But when I come home it’s what I want |
| (Emperors and gender benders dictate |
| What’s going on) |
| I’m going to seek and find and spend my favourite dollar |
| This isn’t Napoleon or one of his divine illusions |
| This isn’t Napoleon this isn’t fate this isn’t drugs |
| This is Louis, Louis the sun king |
| I’m getting sick of all the history and facts |
| I’m going to sail a boat and never coming back |
| I’m going to trash the Pope and bury his career |
| And sail this boat into the Southern Hemisphere |
| You know they say the grass is always greener on the other side |
| I know it’s not true I’ve been there and I’m dying to get back |
| The grease from grass is born of peace then worn away |
| My name’s Napoleon I didn’t know that |
| This isn’t Napoleon (Venezuela!) |
| And Venezuela’s vacant |
| (Venezuela's peeking holding jewels up to the West) |
| They say the grass is greener on the other side |
| I know it’s not true |
| And I’ve been there and I want to get back |
| I’m getting sick of all the history and facts |
| I’m going to sail a boat and never coming back |
| I’m going to trash the Pope and bury his career |
| And sail this boat into the Southern Hemisphere |
| (May I bring you up to date? I am up to date) |
| This isn’t Napoleon this isn’t fate this isn’t rhyme |
| This is a story of times that we had sight |
| This is Louis, Louis the sun king |
| Louis Quatorze, Louis XIV, Louis revolting |
| He wore his faith abused his wealth in the years 1600's |
| 14,000 men, 14,000 horses withdrew their labours |
| And here we go into the principality of Paris |
| We burn the palace and shoot the people with the sour faces |
| The sour faces have got the people’s innocence in their hands |
| And this dirty, filthy palace has still got no truth |
| We storm the palace on the 4th and 5th amendements |
| My name’s Napoleon, I didn’t breed there |
| They say the grass is greener on the other side |
| Well, I’ve been there… |
