Lyrics:

Every King Must Fall

6/25/13 | Song #573 | revised 02/16/2020
(Please Note: because of weird formatting stuff, chords are NOT in exactly the right places. so you gots ta feel ’em)
C G F C
Every generation has a prophet and a king
Am Em F G
Every generation seeks a way to end all suffering
C G F C
We want someone to lead us and “make it better now”
Am Em F G
Even though nobody really knows exactly how
C G F C
So we vote them out of office Or we drag them through the streets
Am Em F G
To make them pay for all the kids without enough to eat
C G F C
We celebrate our victories despite the brutal cost
Am Em F G
Then we lament the precious things that somehow just got lost

Refrain:
F Em Dm C
Every king must fall (X4)

C G F C
David fought Goliath and bravely saved the day
Am Em F G
But later on had trouble getting out of his own way
C G F C
The people paid the price for David’s weakness as a man
Am Em F G
Every grab for power is a line drawn in the sand

Refrain:

Bridge:
Em Am
What is real? What is fake? Who’s right and who is wrong?
FMaj7 G C G
Can we fools and dreamers change the world with just a song?

Refrain:

C G F C
The past tends to repeat itself ’cause we forget to learn
Am Em F G
They say “this time it’s different, no need to be concerned…”
C G F C
But freedom is a fragile thing as history has taught
Am Em F G
Who will come to save us when the rule of law’s been bought?

Refrain:
