Nulberry - Guillotine

This is a song that's about something.

The tuning is DGDFCD

Lyrics:

All who till the field
Reap green
A verdant panoply
Of edible things
All the trappings of
Royalty
Golden plated seats
Cannot feed the meek

Oh what a show it is
I am the captain
And you are the fish
Unfurl the curtain I insist
I'm the director
And you're just a b****

Trace the DNA
Of the man who
Killed his family
With only his shoe
Toss him in the clink
Throw away the key
Leave him there to rot
With socks on his feet

Oh what a show they gave
I am the warden
And you are the slave
Don't try to run away from there
I'm El-ahrairah
And you're just a hare

The ocean's clear
All refracted light exists to obscure
Out little view
Can we have a chat what's that mean to you
It means only the saddest things

All we care to see
In the movies
Are the featured clips
From the preview scenes
Take me at the value
Of my face
I don't think that phrase
Works when rearranged

Oh what a show I played
I am the noble
And you are the blade
Oh what a pleasure it has been
But I'm the bourgeoisie
And you're the guillotine
