No. 4 - Song - Prince and Chorus - "Democracy."
| Prince: | The day is past of the monarch proud, Who rules like slaves the servile crowd, Rules by the accident of birth; And the day is here, the nobler day, When the common people have their say, When the people rule the earth! So, "Goodbye" to the demagogue Who poses on a jeweled throne, He's sure to wake up some fine day To find they've taken his crown away, And he'll find the game he likes to play He'll have to play alone. It's "Goodbye," Autocracy, Come in, Democracy, The latch-string is swinging for you. We're all anxious to meet you, we'll march out to greet you, And we'll follow your banner 'til tyrany's through. So goodbye, Autocracy, Come in, Democracy! I'll tell you what we'll do; We'll fight to the finish, And never will give in, To make this old planet A good place to live in. So Goodbye, Autocracy, Come in, Democracy, Democracy, we're for you! |
