 And then after,
             A5
The smoke is cleared,
        A5
And the rubble,

Has been swept away,
D5
 Me and KG will,
             D5
Peek out our heads.
           A5
We've been watching,

The riots on a monitor,
D5
 Twenty floors,

Below sea level,
E5
 From a bunker.
A5
 We did it Rage-Kage,
   A5
We beat the bastards,
              A5
Of City Hall!
D5
 Hahaha!

But now what,
        D5
Will we do?
A5
 We must rebuild.
    D5
But who will lead us,

In the rebuilding,
          E5
Process?


A5
 Man, it's got to be,

Someone with,
              A5
The know-how,

And the elbow grease,
   A5
To lead us,

To a new land.
D5
 No, not me and KG,

We don't have the,
F#5
 Cognitive capacity,

To lead...
G5
 Alright, we'll do it!
      E5
We'll lead as,

Two kings,

The first decree;
      D5
Is to legalize,

Marijuana.
    A5
The tyranny and,

The bullshit's,
            D5
Gone on too long.

You old fuckin' shrivs,
    F#5

It's legalization;
       G5
You're banished,

From the land!


      E5
We'll lead as,

Two kings,

    A5
Two kings.


A5
 The second decree;
D5              A5
 No more pollution,

No more car exhaust,
D5
 Or ocean dumpage.
F#5
 From now on,
                  G5
We will travel in tubes!


      E5
We'll lead as,

Two kings,

(n.c)

 We'll fucking,
            A5
Lead as Two Kings.


        D5

                 A5
On the tube tech-nology,

Immediately.
           D5
(Tube tech-nology).

Chop, chop, let's go.
              A5
Third decree;
         D5
No more...
D5
 Rich people,
    A5
And poor people.

From now on,
                   F#5
We will all be the same...
G5
 Ummm ,

I gotta think about that...
      E5

Be king anymore.
