Once We Were Kings
Here's a piece of advice, Billy
Piss off out of here
Start everything afresh
And don't look back
There is sod-all left for you here
You are very fookin' special
Now piss off before I start to cry
Once we built visions on ground we hewed
We dreamt of justice and of men renewed
All people equal, in all things
We once were heroes
Once were kings
But all great things must come to pass
We know the first will soon be last
And in the ground we maybe lain
But a seed is sown to rise again
So we walk proudly and we walk strong
All together we will go atone
The ground is empty and cold as hell
But we all go together when we go
You show 'em kidda
Knock them dead, Billy
Thanks, Tony
Ay, see ya sunshine
We saw a land where wealth was shared
Each pain relieved, each hunger fed
Each man revered, each tyrant killed
Each soul redeemed, each life fulfilled
From each man's means to each his need
We saw a time man would be freed
We fought for all the things we saw
The battle's lost but not the war
So we walk proudly and we walk strong
All together we will go as one
The ground is empty and cold as hell
But we all go together when we go
We will go down but our heads are proud
We will go down with our voices loud
We will go down but come again
And we all go together when we go
Ah ah ah
And we all go together when we go
We walk proudly and we walk strong
All together we will go as one
The ground is empty and cold as hell
But we all go together when we go
We walk proudly and we walk strong
All together we will go as one
The ground is empty and cold as hell
But we all go together when we go
We walk proudly and we walk strong
All together we will go as one
The ground is empty and cold as hell
But we all go together when we go
Piss off out of here
Start everything afresh
And don't look back
There is sod-all left for you here
You are very fookin' special
Now piss off before I start to cry
Once we built visions on ground we hewed
We dreamt of justice and of men renewed
All people equal, in all things
We once were heroes
Once were kings
But all great things must come to pass
We know the first will soon be last
And in the ground we maybe lain
But a seed is sown to rise again
So we walk proudly and we walk strong
All together we will go atone
The ground is empty and cold as hell
But we all go together when we go

We walk proudly and we walk strong
All together we will go as one
The ground is empty and cold as hell
But we all go together when we go
