Текст песни: On With Their Heads! + перевод

Here’s just a few of the changes I’ll make

When mankind appoints me king of Planet Earth

So pass me my crown, my scepter and gown

Hear the first proclamation of Martin I

Leaders who lied so that innocents died

Pretending to cry they beg for one’s pardon

Protest? Well they might when impaled on spikes

In the grounds that surround Buckingham Palace garden

If there is a world left for the meek to inherit

These bastards would bomb it the moment they get it

Bogged down in a mire, lost all sight of their goals

Though they’ve gained the whole world, they’ve forsaken their souls

On with their heads! I’m the clown prince of fools

If you don’t get the joke it’s your loss

Love and laughter you see are the new currency

'cause greed’s coinage is not worth the toss

(no, greed’s coinage is not worth the toss)

Preachers who teach us that God loves his children

Instruct us to pray and then prey on our kids

They’ll not squeal with glee as the answer to me

Placed in coffins of offal I’ll nail down their lids

There’s still plenty of poisonous fish in the sea

Rich with more complexes than vitamin B

If trawling for assholes you’ll net a fine catch

With skulls full of sawdust, well I’ve got the match

On with their heads! Hear my royal decree

Shut your mouth, it could open your mind

What a change there would be if someday we could see

One-eyed men in this land of the blind

On with their heads! Now my word is the law

And your ignorant bliss is high treason

When the thought police call for you they’ll have a ball

'cause the wise don’t get mad, they get even

On with their heads! I’m the clown prince of fools

If you don’t get the joke it’s your loss

Love and laughter you see are the new currency

'cause greed’s coinage is not worth the toss

(no, greed’s coinage is not worth the toss)

Crackpot patricians, fascist politicians

Wheelers and dealers, big-shot money makers

Mass redundancy down the fraud factory

Now notice has been served on all liberty-takers

Those still unaware that a new age must dawn

Shall wake with their necks on the block come the morn

On my ferry to Styx everyone pays the toll

It’s time to rock the boat, empty heads start to roll

On with their heads! Hear my royal decree

Shut your mouth, it could open your mind

What a change there would be if someday we could see

One-eyed men in this land of the blind

On with their heads! Now my word is the law

And your ignorant bliss is high treason

When the thought police call for you they’ll have a ball

'cause the wise don’t get mad, they get even

(no, the wise don’t get mad they get even)
