Lyrics
<p><span style="font-size: small;">King of the Past (Ian Roure) </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">History hasn’t gone your way </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">Somehow, some fairness has somewhat held sway </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">And Kodachrome colors complicate </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">When a black and white world is just a tyrant away </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">You’ve joined the caravan going back </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">In a procession of lies </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">One day you hope and pray your flag at last </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">Will be so proudly unfurled </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">By the King of the Past </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">In your black and white world </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">History hasn’t gone your way </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">And the last you thing you need is some more of the same </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">You want a ticket to ‘51 </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">And a prophet who claims he’ll make that kingdom come </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">You’ve joined the caravan going back </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">In a procession of lies </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">One day you hope and pray your flag at last </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">Will be so proudly unfurled </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">By the King of the Past </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">In your black and white world </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">We’re all on the caravan going back </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">In a procession of lies </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">Now that it’s come to pass your flag at last </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">Has been so proudly unfurled </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">By the King of the Past </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">Here’s your black and white world </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">Here’s your black and white world </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">Here’s your black and white world (King of the Past) </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">Here’s your black and white world (King of the Past) </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">Here’s your black and white world</span></p>
