The Intro (The Kingdom Burns) Lyrics
Agent K: Humans, for the most part don't have a clue
They don't want one or need one, neither, they're happy
They think they have a...good bead on things
Agent J: W-W-Why the big secret? People are smart, they can handle it
Agent K: A person is smart
People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it
1500 years ago everybody knew the earth was the center of the universe
500 years ago everybody knew the earth was flat, and
15 minutes ago you knew that people were alone on this planet. (sigh)
Imagine what you'll know...tomorrow
[Bridge]
One of these days the skies gonna break
And everything will escape
And I'll know
One of these days the mountains are gonna fall
Into the sea
And they'll know, that
You and I were made for this
I was made to taste your kiss
We were made to never fall away
[Verse 1: Distorted]
Please, Please
Ca-Catch him if you can
That man is dangerous with that pen and pad in his hand
And with one wave of the hand
I shall banish you from my land
And have you plotting with the peasants like how do we stop this man (ugh)
Is it possible, I don't think that we can
He's unstoppable, no he's just one man
Not taking into fact everything that I have been through
Perfects what they want but everything's all I can give you (ugh)
They don't want one or need one, neither, they're happy
They think they have a...good bead on things
Agent J: W-W-Why the big secret? People are smart, they can handle it
Agent K: A person is smart
People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it
1500 years ago everybody knew the earth was the center of the universe
500 years ago everybody knew the earth was flat, and
15 minutes ago you knew that people were alone on this planet. (sigh)
Imagine what you'll know...tomorrow
[Bridge]
One of these days the skies gonna break
And everything will escape
And I'll know
One of these days the mountains are gonna fall
Into the sea
And they'll know, that
You and I were made for this

We were made to never fall away
[Verse 1: Distorted]

And with one wave of the hand

He's unstoppable, no he's just one man
Not taking into fact everything that I have been through
Perfects what they want but everything's all I can give you (ugh)
[Verse 2: Clean]
I shot my heart and made my soul bleed
I lost my mind so I can find me
But these niggas still actin' like they don't know me
Damn I'm tired of being the old me (yea)
Now if you want me you can come find me
Lost inside the pussy
Like how the hell did you find me
Take it from a king, the top becomes the one and only
Place where you can stay but everybody wants to own-thee
Reason why they screaming when they see him on that TV
"I told you yea I seen it I seen it before you all
He's the greatest yea the greatest than any and all of y'all seen"
Now that's a feeling that we all need
But I know this will not last forever
But when these walls start to fall I just hope that we both together
If we ever get separated just remember what I tell ya
When it's all said and done we gonna build it back even better
[Bridge]
