Sweet Prince

You've been blurring the line between corporate and criminal
We've been reading your diary in crawlspaces liminal
We know what you did and we know how you did it
We're taking you down cuz you'll never admit it

We recovered the spreadsheets off of your hard drive
Taught ourselves to mind-read just to read your mind
You can get up at dawn but we stayed up all night
Booked every seat on your getaway flight

We're leaking the masters to your comeback album
We're stealing the love of your trusted pet falcon
We're telling reporters what you did to be prom king
We're replacing your loved ones with sawdust and swamp things

Ah it's all over now, sweet prince
Yeah it's all over now, sweet prince

And that shitty Pavlova that you so loved to bake
We tripled the recipe and fed it to snakes
We taught the snakes how to sing and now they're bursting with song
Then they've written a hit about all you've done wrong

And now it's top of the charts in a grateful nation
Children sing it at their graduations
They just sway back and forth, belting your name
And then the snakes have the whole world singing your shame

Ah it's all over now, sweet prince
Yeah it's all over now, sweet prince

Sweet prince! Sweet prince! Sweet prince!

And it's all over now, sweet prince
Yeah it's all over now, sweet prince
Ah it's all over now, it's all over, sweet prince
It's all over now, sweet prince

May all your dreams come true
Yeah the ones that shake you awake at night like a ragdoll
Your nightmares closing in
With knowing, toothy grins
And you just can't make them stop
