Rise and greet the great pretender
He's young and hungry for your crown
Do you want it?
Do yuo want my place?
You can take my place
Do you want it?
Do you want my place?
You can take my place
Heart of gold and mind of putty
They made me up they'll make you up as well
(Chorus)
I know a thing or two
But I hope it's good for you
The time has come for abdication
So pass it on, yeah pass it on
(Chorus)
I hope you'll understand
If it goes the way they planned
(Chorus to end)
