When we form a microcosm Underneath the sheets I am your peasant people You give me the word kind Little thing I do not give you the word tyrant Although You were already wearing Blindly The crown I had given you Kissing the brow Granting mute fealty Under an unrelenting sun Out in a wheat field Heart blistered But a king's got to eat Even if he doesn't know where the bread comes from Do you still Not understand love?

When we form a microcosm Underneath the sheets I am your peasant people You give me the word kind Little thing I do not give you the word tyrant Although You were already wearing Blindly The crown I had given you Kissing the brow Granting mute fealty Under an unrelenting sun Out in a wheat field Heart blistered But a king's got to eat Even if he doesn't know where the bread comes from Do you still Not understand love?
