Long Live The King Lyrics - The Byrds - The Byrds

The first thing that they tell you 

Is that you will be king 

A priest at least they tell you 

And that then everything 

Will be alright at last 

You will finally be cast 

Into your rightful throne 

They've got it all down cold 

Next thing that they tell you 

Is not to be afraid 

Think you're better than the others 

Somewhat fine and brave

They lead astray 

You could be up there all alone 

A star they say 

A million miles away from home 

An empty space 

Is that the place you wanted? 

The last thing that they tell you about 

Is they ask you "Will it hurt?" 

They said,"Sell what you can, boy 

Get out while the getting's good" 

And they whisper in the evening 

Now, all around town 

They said, "Woo, Humpty Dumpty 

The king is falling down" 

I said,"Just like Humpty Dumpty 

(All the king's horses 

The king is falling down" 

(And all the king's men)

I said, "Ooh, Humpty Dumpty now 

(Could not put old Humpty Dumpty now) 

The king is falling down" 

(Back together again) 

I said,"Oh, the king is falling down" 

(All the king's horses and all the king's men) 

I said,"Oh, the king is falling down" 

(Could not put old Humpty Dumpty now back together again) 

I said,"Oh, the king is falling down" 

(All the king's horses and all the king's men) 

I said,"Oh, the king is falling down" 

(Could not put old Humpty Dumpty now back together again) 

I said,"Oh, the king is falling down" 

(All the king's horses and all the king's men) 

I said,"Oh, the king is falling down" 

(Could not put old Humpty Dumpty now back together again)
