A bad King may spoil even the best of times
We fable a good King’s aid in the dark ages
In our royal age of infinite information
We have royally forgotten the meaning of knowledge
In a sapphire dungeon of instant gratification
We have misplaced the majesty of pleasure
In this kingdom of self-indulgent ignorance
We have lost the nobility of wisdom
Can any subject ever again decree:
‘Tis better, The World, without a King.

A bad King may spoil even the best of times
We fable a good King’s aid in the dark ages
In our royal age of infinite information
We have royally forgotten the meaning of knowledge
In a sapphire dungeon of instant gratification
We have misplaced the majesty of pleasure
In this kingdom of self-indulgent ignorance
We have lost the nobility of wisdom
Can any subject ever again decree:
‘Tis better, The World, without a King.
