This is the third track off the New Pornographers' second studio album, The Electric Version, released on May 6, 2003 on Matador/Mint. This song is known for its relatively obscure lyrics, which seem to be referring to a land with a pharaoh — Egypt, perhaps, which seems like a thinly veiled biblical...
The Laws Have Changed Lyrics
[Verse 1: AC Newman]
It was crime at the time
But the laws, we changed 'em
Though the hero for hire's
Forever the same one
[Neko Case and AC Newman]
Introducing for the first time:
Pharaoh on the microphone
[Pre-Chorus: Neko Case]
Sing, 'All Hail'
What'll be revealed today
When we peer into the great unknown
From the line to the throne?
[Verse 2: AC Newman]
Awakened to cheers
After years on the faultline
We are shocked to be here
In the face of the meantime
[Neko Case and AC Newman]
Pharaoh, all your methods have taught me
Is to separate my blood from bone
[Pre-Chorus: Neko Case]
It will all fail
Feel what I feel today
When we peer into the great unknown
From the line to the throne
[Chorus: Neko Case and AC Newman]
Form a line, to the
Form a line, to the
Form a line to the throne
Form a line to the throne
Form a line to the throne
Form a line to the throne
Form a line to the throne
Form a line to the throne
[Verse 3: AC Newman]
Alone in the chain
It remains to be seen how
How well you can play
When the pawn takes a queen now
[Neko Case and AC Newman]
Introducing for the first time:
Pharaoh on the microphone
[Pre-Chorus: Neko Case]
Sing, 'All Hail'
What'll be revealed today
When we peer into the great unknown
From the line to the throne?
Sing, 'All Hail'
What'll be revealed today
When we peer into the great unknown
From the line to the throne?
[Chorus: Neko Case and AC Newman]
Form a line, to the
Form a line, to the
Form a line to the throne
Form a line to the throne
Form a line to the throne
Form a line to the throne
Form a line to the throne
Form a line to the throne
[Outro: AC Newman]
It was crime at the time, but the laws have changed, yeah
It was crime at the time, but the laws have changed, yeah
