We Have No Kings!

Liner Notes
He Who Must Not Be Named™ posted an image of himself on the official website with a crown on his head and the text "LONG LIVE THE KING" on it. Ummmm....NO! Not bowing the knee to wannabe kings. Not happening.
EZ Drummer, Jazz Bass, guitars, cakehole noises
Lyrics
You’re so full Of yourself Can’t think Of anyone else It’s always All about you And what your chumps Can do for you
(PC) But you’ll never be Ruler of anything Our birthright - we have no kings
You wanna rule With an iron fist But there’s something You may have missed We fought a war To extricate Ourselves from A monarchy state
You might have flunked History But one fact remains - we have no kings
Just in case you didn’t get the memo Here’s an unfriendly reminder - we have no kings!
You’ve got the backing of Rapacious billionaires Oppress the people Without a care But you’ve got no brain You’ve got no heart Just a craven soulless Broligarch
Free people shout Free people sing Free people know - we have no kings!
Here’s another reminder in case you missed the first one Here it is again - we have no kings!
Free people shout Free people sing Free people know - we have no kings!
We have no kings!

Oh I did not expect you to get so heavy. This song has such a great drive! The guitar solo is awesome
So this is a great punk anthem and very topical! Good stuff.
Badass. Song. Great lyrics. To the point, and spare no expense on the rock. "WE HAVE NO KINGS!" Love the "Free people..." set of lines and the killer ending. Great work!!!!
I’m here shouting we have no kings with you! I share your rage. The lyrics are spot on and they’re delivered in the perfect punky protest package. The spoken bits add just the right punch.
At first I thought I was getting a Stones' Paint It Black thing but it turned into a full on punk rock jam! I love how you say - check it out right here - and break into the solo. I also love the 60's era soul feel: MC5, Hendrix. Keep on rockin'!
Love it! I rarely heard you create such energetic music. The proper pace for a rage song.
Wow! This rocks! Clear statement powerfully presented! Love it! 👍
so many elements of pissed-off music here, from the slashing guitars, the shouted refrain, the hard stacatto of the verses...all adds up to a rousing protest song.
this is full of grit and angst and I can see why! you've nailed this! a belter.
You might have flunked history...YES, a huge flunky of everything. This ROCKS and I think what everything is thinking....at least I am....Fab song!!!
That was awesome!!! Dig the attitude and kick A$$ bass and electric guitars. Hilarious and not at the same time. I should blast this out a large speaker on top of my car every day...
woohoo one more Todd rant to go out on, and what a righteous rant it is. Tell him! Well done for a great FAWM!
