All you people up there in city hall

You're fuckin' it up for the people that's in the streets

This is a song for the people in the streets

Not the people city hall

All you motherfuckers in the streets it's time to rise up

Come along children and fuckin' rise!

Lots of times when me and kg are watchin'

All the fuckin' shit that goes down at city hall

We get the feeling we should fuck shit up

Yeah we should fuckin' start a riot

A riot!

We have 'em screaming in the streets

We have 'em tippin' over shit and breakin' fuckin' windows of small businesses

And settin' fuckin' fires!

And settin' fuckin' fires!

And settin' fuckin' fires!

And then after the smoke is cleared

And the rubble has been swept away

Me and kg will peek out our heads

We've been watching the riots on a monitor twenty floors below sea level

From a bunker

We did it rage-kage, we beat the bastards of city hall!

But now what will we do?

We must rebuild. But who will lead us in the rebuilding process?

Man, it's got to be someone with the know-how

And the elbow grease to lead us to a new land

No, not me and kg, we don't have the cognitive capacity to lead...

Alright, we'll do it!

We'll lead as two kings

We'll lead as two kings

Ahhhaaa (two kings, we'll lead as two kings)

Ah-ha ah-how

We'll lead as two kings

The first decree is to legalize marijuana

The tyranny and the bullshit's gone on too long

You old fuckin' shrivs who blocked it's legalization

You're banished from the land!

We'll lead as two kings

We'll lead as two kings

Ahhhaaa (two kings, we'll lead as two kings)

Ah-ha ah-how

Lead as two kings

The second decree: No more pollution, no more car exhaust

Or ocean dumpage. From now on, we will travel in tubes!

We'll lead as two kings, oh, yeah

We'll fuckin' lead as two kings

Get the scientists working on the tube technology, immediately

(Tube technology.) chop, chop, let's go

Third decree: Ao more... rich people: and poor people

From now on, we will all be the same... Ummm, I dunno

I gotta think about that...

We'll lead as two kings

Ah yeah, ah yeahhhahahaha.

Ha-ha-ho-hee, ha-ha-ho-hee-ha-ha-ho-ho-ho-ho

Oh my god

Ahh... What?

Dude, the red phone is flashing

Oh, yeah

Let me scoop that up? Tello? two kings

Who is it?

What?! No! no fucking way!

What?

Rage, there's a potato famine in idaho, you gotta go down there!

Oh my god... What?

Dude, I gotta stay here!

Why do I have to go?

Please! Please!

Oh, god, okay

Awesome..? As he gone? alright, emergency meeting of parliament

All right parliament, I know this is fucked up

But rage, he can't be king anymore

Dudes, he's encroaching on my decrees

Seriously, let's make him "duke," a kick ass "duke."

Or "leader formerly known as king," but-- uh-oh he's comin' back...

We'll lead as two kings, oh yes

We'll really lead as two kings

Uh, dude?

Rage.

I went all over idaho...

Yeah?

Uh, plenty of potatoes everywhere

What? There was no famine?

Yeah, there was no famine, no

Dude.

I don't know what's uh...

A toast...

A toast...

Long live the "d."

Long live the "d."

Long live me. I'm sorry, I poisoned your wine

What?

For the good of the land

You p-- I poisoned yours... Huh heh, as well

Noooooooooo!!!!!

No!

City, city, city, city, city, city, shitty

Shitty, city, shitty, shitty, city, city, shitty

Hall, hall, hall, hall, hall, hall, hall, hall

People inside me are askin' me to smoke up city hall

'Cause no one here is talkin'

People inside me are askin' me to blow up city hall

'Cause no one here is rockin'

People inside me are askin' me to blow up city hall

'Cause everyone is rock-'em sock-'em robots

Everyone is rock-'em sock-'em robots

Everyone is rock-'em sock-'em go! Oh!

Don't, cut that part out

We've got it

Um, do you believe in god?

I believe, I believe

You do?

I believe in god. I believe in god.

(Laughs)] y'do

I believe in god

Do you?

I believe in god
