Verse 1]
Back when kings wore crowns and sat on thrones of gold
They told the people plain, “We can’t be bought or sold”
They said the king was chosen, touched by God above
So even when he did you wrong, you still gave him your love
[Verse 2]
They changed the words around, but the meaning stayed the same
Now it’s suits and ties instead of robes that hide the blame
They call it “sovereign immunity,” they dress it up real fine
But it still means the same old thing — the powerful don’t do time
[Chorus]
The king can do no wrong, that’s what they used to say
Now the robes are gone, but the rules still work that way
They can break your family, take your kids, and walk away
‘Cause the king can do no wrong — at least that’s what they say
[Verse 3]
They got lawyers and procedures, they got layers of defense
They can look you in the eye and still make no damn sense
They can twist the truth around until the lie sounds true
And when it all falls down on you, there’s nothing you can do
[Chorus]
The king can do no wrong, that’s what they used to say
Now the robes are gone, but the rules still work that way
They can break your family, take your kids, and walk away
‘Cause the king can do no wrong — at least that’s what they say
[Bridge]
They say it’s for the children, they say it’s to protect
But they protect the system more than they protect what’s left
And when the truth comes crawling out from under all the lies
They just change the wording and they look you in the eyes
[Final Chorus]
The king can do no wrong, it’s written in the rules
They just updated how they teach it now in modern schools
They can ruin your whole life and never face the blame
‘Cause the king can do no wrong — and they still play that game
[Outro]
Yeah, the king can do no wrong…
At least that’s what they say.
