Bourgeois Mini-Suite: (1. Patriarch, 2. Divine Right, 3. Overthrow, 4. Patriarch (Reprise) Lyrics

I. Patriarch

A train conductor, man with malice

Approaches his daughter, a knife his lone asset

She smiles a gentle way, gun on her corset

And upon finding his blade, she cocks and he forfeits

A typical holiday gathering

Of lustful young ladies unfastening

In dominion unto the patriarch

Whose desires proceed all her safety heart

A fortnight till lazing on faraway sand

A harlot at my feet to please this young man

The light of her hands finds the throat of myself

My child and I gasped for the air before Hell

A typical holiday, surprising

Of lustful young ladies in uprising

In dominion unto the monarchy

Working bones, our property

II. Divine Right

Swim, swim, somersault

Some sun, all your fault

Why have the subjects become so unruly

Has my disposition lead to a fervor of newly

Brought-forth officials that demand accounting

Unto the public from which their resounding

That can't be the case

I can take this space

That can't be the case

God gave me this place

III. Overthrow [Instrumental]

IV. Patriarch (Reprise)

A fabled author, wrote of this essence

And several years later, it's come to our presence

Locked in a cell where I rot with the rodents

I curse the young rebels who came without prudence

Fuck you!

Fuck you!

Fuck you!

Fuck you!
