verse 1
The long haired kings sing songs of love
As they turn their eyes to the skies above
With a grasping hand dividin’ royalties
The long haired kings forsake all loyalties

chorus 1
The long haired kings split up long ago
In a sea of treachery and vertigo
Yes, the long haired kings broke up long ago
In a web of luxury…  and treachery
And vertigo

verse 2
And the long haired kings sang songs of sin
Faced the Pearly Gates with a surly grin
With a broken oath and a grasping hand
The long haired kings pissed away the land

chorus 2
But the long haired kings broke up long ago
In a web of treachery and deep sorrow
Yes, the long haired kings pissed away the band
With a profane oath… and a grasping hand
And a grasping hand

verse 3
Then the long haired kings sung songs of woe
Of how the majors took their birthright long ago
With a willingness to sacrifice their kin
The long haired kings did their own selves in

chorus 3
And the long haired kings faded long ago
In a sea of verdigris and indigo
Yes, the long haired kings pissed away the brand
With a broken oath… and a grasping hand
And a grasping hand
