(Slower Tempo):

A                            Amaj7
 And then after the smoke is cleared,
        A7
And the rubble has been swept away,
D                            Dm
 Me and KG will peek out our heads.
           A
We've been watching the riots on a monitor,
Dm                               E7
 Twenty floors below sea level...from a bunker.

A
 We did it Rage-Kage;
   Amaj7                           A7
We beat the bastards of City Hall!
D                             Dm
 Hahaha! But now what will we do?
A
 We must rebuild.
    Dm                                         E7
But who will lead us in the rebuilding process?

A                                              Amaj7
 Man, it's got to be someone with the know-how,
                        A7
And the elbow grease to lead us to a new land.
D
 No, not me and KG, we don't have,
    F#m                          G

The first decree is to legalize Marijuana.
    Amaj7                                  Dmaj7
The tyranny and the bullsh*t's gone on too long.
                           F#m
You old f**kin' shrivs who blocked it's legalization;
       G
You're banished, from the land!

Ahh-haa...(two kings, we'll lead as two kings).
         Dmaj7                  Amaj7
Ah-ha ah-how, we'll lead as two kings.

Amaj7              Dmaj7              Amaj7 
 The second decree; no more pollution,
                        Dmaj7
No more car exhaust, or ocean dumpage.

 We'll f**kin' lead as two kings.

Get the scientists working on,
              Amaj7
The tube tech-nology, immediately.

Third decree;
         Dmaj7

 Rich people and poor people.

G
 Umm, I dunno, I gotta think about that...

      E7                  (n.C)              Amaj7
We'll lead as two kings... we'll lead as two kings.
