Welcome to the nightmare

Where villains wear the crowns

 Fools rule a broken world
  A        E
And fear grows all around

Bm
 There's a bad king
D      E      F#m
 A dreadful puppet on a string

He pretends to be a champion

Of the common man

 Wants more division
    A       E
In his lost and riven land

 He plays with real lives

 In the darkest game of life

His greedy eyes

He doesn't count

The human cost but only money made or lost

Yeah

Cannot save you anymore

Verse:
F#m
He knows how to justify

And how to feed the myths
D
 How to glorify
  A         E
The lies and hide the truth

Bm
 He talks a lot but
D       E       F#m
 His mouth is full of empty words

F#m
 He has the right friends

Making shady inside deals
D
 Before the story ends
  A       E
We will be out of tears

Bm
 Fools give the answer
D     E     F#m
 Wise men don't even try

Bridge:
       B
The time has come

To dethrone him but there's a new clone
     F#m
Stepping in, yeah
     B
Just more scum
                  C#
Another greedy, rotten puppet on a string

Yeah
