The Parlotones
Manufactured Kings
Who’s to blame when we’ve exhausted all excuses
We made them kings they turned us all into peasants
Hollywood, couldn’t even dream this shit up
It’s a shame when everyone’s to blame
For manufactured kings and we the modern slaves

Just another song
I’ve heard it all along
Here comes the black swan
Babylon
Let me introduce
The fabled golden goose
We all choose to abuse
Manufactured kings and we the modern slaves

We the modern slaves

Suit and tie the emperor’s new attire
The silver screen and to the radio we aspire

Manufactured kings and we the modern slaves

Just another song
I’ve heard it all along
Here comes the black swan
Babylon
Let me introduce
The fabled golden goose
We all choose to abuse
Manufactured kings and we the modern slaves
