[Verse 1]
The King is dead but the Queen is alive
Off with his head, I am done with his lies
A fair win, I have fought for my life
A clean slate after all this time
A revolution and now I am in charge
My evolution is to shoot for the stars
His first mistake: he underestimates
He didn't bother to appreciate
[Chorus]
So, rah, rah, rah!
Sis boom, fucking bah!
There's a party in your honor
But you won't be there whatever, so
Three cheers for the one that got away!
You were just blah, blah, blah
I was oh my God
And unlike your anatomy
I'm glad I had it in me
Now the King
The King, the King
The King is dead
But the Queen is alive
[Verse 2]
I guess the village didn't raise you right
Don't think nobody's gonna mourn you tonight
No more licks to wet your appetite
You make me sick, I didn't wanna fight
I thought we ruled the heavens and the earth
I really thought I was the only girl
Your secrets have all been revealed to me
You've been dethroned there goes your legacy!
[Chorus]
So, rah, rah, rah!
Sis boom, fucking bah!
There's a party in your honor
But you won't be there whatever, so
Three cheers for the one that got away!
You were just blah, blah, blah
I was oh my God
And unlike your anatomy
I'm glad I had it in me
Now the King
The King, the King
The King is dead
But the Queen is alive
[Bridge]
There are consequences in this life
A punishment that fit the crime
Your last words, I heard I'm sorry
Now look at me in all my glory!
The King is dead but the Queen is alive
I wear your crown and I look quite nice
I almost let you get the best of me
But no one's ever gonna get the Queen!
[Chorus]
So, rah, rah, rah!
Sis boom, fucking bah!
There's a party in your honor
But you won't be there whatever, so
Three cheers for the one that got away!
You were just blah, blah, blah
I was oh my God
And unlike your anatomy
I'm glad I had it in me
Now the King
The King, the King
The King is dead
But the Queen is alive
[Outro]
But the Queen is alive!
