[Verse 1]
Broken down, feeling naked
Leaving me unfulfilled
Promising compromise
Championing mediocrity
[Pre-Chorus]
Time and time again
What you said ain't what you mean

[Chorus]

Kill the King, the King is dead, long live the King
(I am the King) God save the King
[Post-Chorus]
Kill the King, the King is dead
I am the King, long live the King
Kill the King, the King is dead
I am the King, long live the King

[Pre-Chorus]
Time and time again
What you said ain't what you mean

[Chorus]
To kill the King, the King is dead, long live the King
Kill the King, the King is dead, long live the King
(I am the King) God save the King

An explosion of the brain (an explosion of the brain)
Spontaneously combust (spontaneously combust)
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Kill the King, the King is dead
Long live the King (I am the King)
Kill the King, (I) the King is dead, (I am)
Long live the King (I am the King)
Kill the King, (I) the King is dead, (I am)
Long live the King (I am the King)
Kill the King, (I) the King is dead, (I am)
Long live the King, I am the King
