I Wanna Half a Revolution

I want to bring out the guillotine
and behead, the prince,
and live in the palace
and drink the wine
and wears the beautiful blue coat
with a gold braids on it
and a fancy hat

but I don’t want dead children
in the street and hunger in the village,
I don’t want bullet holes
in the tenement walls.

I just want to get rid of the king
so I can be king
everything will be better
for everybody
because I’ll be a good king.
