Strings On Our Kings Lyrics

Hey There Mr.Pinnochio Man
I heard you once had a killer plan
For the land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
I heard you had some family ties
I heard you set up some alabis
And Bedfellow Gepetto Carved a new nose on your face.
Long time ago. When there were
Strings on our Kings
Black Gold and Diamond Rings
When there were strings tangling
‘Till a Brave Bard Cut them
Then it was ashes to ashes when they finally fell down
And in the Rubble a country was found
Hey There Mr. Puppet Boy
I heard you used to play with Toys
Set the Soldiers up. Knock the Soldiers Down.

I heard the people were your employer
But you took faith in God and Oil
Bravado’s the band aid that comforts the clown.
Long Time Ago. When There were
Chorus
Root Bound Oooh
Bridge:
I am so grateful to be looking back
God Bless the Soldiers
Goddess bless all souls under attack……..
And Wash away the Shame
Though it was not in my Name.
And Wash away the Shame
From a Long time Ago
Chorus
Got too hot for a boy of wood
Who got confused about where he stood
On the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Oh Say Can You See?
