## Lyrics
[verse]
Long live the picture on the wall
The gold-framed nothing over us all
They wave and smile from up on high
While the rest of us just scrape by

[chorus]
Bless the crown, bless the throne
Bless the ones who leave us alone
No future they can hand to me
Just a photograph of history

[verse]
They sell us glory wrapped in lace
A pretty mask on an empty face
Sing the anthem, stand up straight
Pretend it isn't far too late

[chorus]
Bless the crown, bless the throne
Bless the ones who leave us alone
No future they can hand to me
Just a photograph of history

[bridge]
We are not your loyal ghosts
We won't raise your empty toasts
Take your statues, take your gold
We're done being bought and sold

[chorus]
Bless the crown, bless the throne
Bless the ones who leave us alone
No future they can hand to me
Just a photograph of history
