Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. Apr. 21, 2015]

Elizabeth, this time it isn't you
But she who shouts and blasts us with blue
The brilliance of making war
Rotten to the very core
She's hammered planks across my door
Some sensitivity might pull us through

The Evil Queen of England puts us down
So cold, so heartless and oh so glory bound
The Queen of evil and of iron
Can't you see there's people crying

Being fair still gets you through the day
But your dark soul is getting in the way
You must believe in equality
In pride and people's dignity
Stop killing the family
You sacrifice the servants to the kings

The Evil Queen of England looks away
So ignorant and bad she's made us pay
Queen of evil and of iron
Can't you see there's people dying

You light cigars with ten pound notes
You put pretty perfume on your throat
You dance in the castle as we drown in the moat
You're pushing heads below the waterline

[3:05]
(I sing very calmly, I sing very calmly
???
The system is not producing results ???
I sing very calmly. I sing very... I sing very calmly
I won't be there forever, thank Heavens)

And I've let you be the evil Queen again
And now I need something to help me dull the pain
A blue-eyed Marie Antoinette
Your speeches stale cigarettes
Give back our hearts, repay your debts
I can't believe in anything you do

Now the Evil Queen of England left a scar
And then she drove away in a black expensive car
The Queen of Evil and of iron
Remove our chains and help us climb away
Remove our chains and help us climb away
