The Emperor Has No Clothes
Music and Lyrics by David Prince

I think it started with some people on the outside looking in
The ones who felt that they weren’t getting their fair share
All it took was someone to take their side
And promise them a win
To knock the fat cats on their asses
So their lives would seem more fair
Empty promises
Seasoned with lies
And those who should have known the truth
Held their nose and closed their eyes

Just like dominoes
I watched them fall
I watched them tumble one by one
As they bowed down to the madman
And so it goes
It feels like I’m the only one who knows
That the emperor has no clothes

Take a look around
At all of your neighbors
Take a look around
At all of the media
He said that they’re the enemy
You really think that’s true?
And when you take a look around
At all of the misery
Take a look around
At all the insanity
The ones getting the short end of the stick
Are me and you

Just like dominoes
I watched them fall
I watched them tumble one by one
As they bowed down to the madman
And so it goes
It feels like I’m the only one who knows
That the emperor has no clothes

And so it goes
It feels like I’m the only one who knows
That the emperor has no clothes
