| | Kings Lyrics Artist(Band):Steely Dan
Sad old men who run this town I still recall the way He led the charge and saved the day Blue blood and rain I can hear the bugle playin' CHORUS: We seen the last of Good King Richard Ring out the past his name lives on Roll out the bones and raise up your pitcher Raise up your glass to Good King John While he plundered far and wide All his starving children cried And though we sung his fame We all went hungry just the same He meant to shine To the end of the line CHORUS If you find some error in Kings Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about Kings Unreported lyric | Reviewer: John | 6/22/09 In the final chorus, 'raise up your glass' is repeated three times. The first and second time, the glass is raised to King 'John.' In the third repeat, the phrase changes to 'raise up your glass to good kings all.' The more that things change the more they stay the same | Reviewer: Jon Clark | 9/30/07 The song is the hope of all the new, young, nubile generations that will bound into the world. All the youth bemoans the treachery of tradition and the politics of the past, but in the ending of youth they discover that things, kings, never really change; they advocate might to defeat evil. As naive youth we tend to advocate diplomacy but the harsh economic determinism that determines the rough shod course of history is inexorable and war is a perpetual reality on this plane of existence. This is a hippie song--a celebration with a satirical, biting message tucked into the middle of it. It is a timeless theme of civilization. Irony is the well-versed wisdom of the old.
