---------------...............
 All you people up there,  in City Hall;
 You're fuckin' it up for the,
 People that's in the streets.
 This is a song for the people,
 In the streets;  not the people, City Hall.
 All you mot-her-fuck-ers, in the streets;
 It's time to rise up, up, up,  up,
 Come along children and fuckin' rise!
 (Faster Tempo):
 Lots of times, when me  and K-G  are watchin';
 All the fuckin' shit that's  going down  at City Hall.
 We get the feeling  we should fuck  shit up,
 Yeah, we should fuckin'  start a riot.
   riot!
 We have 'em screaming in the streets,
 We have 'em tippin'  over shit,
 And breakin' fuckin' windows  of small  busines-ses,
 And settin' fuckin' fires!
 And settin' fuckin' fires!
 And settin' fuckin' fires!
 (Slower Tempo):
 And then after the smoke is cleared,
 And the rubble  has been swept away,
 Me and KG will peek out our heads.
 We've been watching  the riots on a monitor,
 Twenty floors below sea level...from  a bunker.
 We did it Rage-Kage;
 We beat  the bastards of City Hall!
 Hahaha! But now what will we do?
 We must rebuild.
 But who  will lead us in the rebuilding process?
 Man, it's got to be someone with the know-how,
 And the elbow grease to lead  us to a new land.
 No, not me and KG, we don't have,
 The cognitive  capacity to lead...  alright, we'll do it!
 We'll lead  as two kings... we'll  lead as two kings.
 Ahh-haa...(two  kings, we'll lead as two kings).
 Ah-ha ah-how,  we'll lead as two kings.
 The first  decree is to legalize  Marijuana.
 The tyranny  and the bullshit's gone on too long.
 You old fuckin' shrivs who blocked  it's legalization;
 You're banished,  from the land!
 We'll lead  as two kings... we'll  lead as two kings.
 Ahh-haa...(two  kings, we'll lead as two kings).
 Ah-ha ah-how,  we'll lead as two kings.
 The second decree;  no more pollution,
 No more car exhaust, or ocean  dumpage.
 From now on, we will travel in tubes!
 We'll lead  as two kings...
  We'll  fuckin' lead as two kings.
 Get the scientists  working on,
 The tube tech-nology,  immediately.
 (Tube tech-nology).  Chop, chop, let's go.
 Third decree;
 No more...
 Rich people and poor  people.
 From now on, we will all be the same...
 Umm, I dunno, I gotta think about that...
 We'll lead  as two kings... we'll  lead as two kings.
 Ha-ha-ho-hee,  ha-ha-ho-hee, ha-ha-ho-ho-ho-ho.
 (JB): Oh my God.
 (KG): Ahh...What?
 (JB): Dude, the red phone is flashing.
 (KG): Oh, yeah.
 (JB): Let me scoop that up. Hel-lo?  Two Kings.
 (KG): Who is it?
 (JB): What?!  No! No fucking way!
 (KG): What?
 (JB): Rage,  there's a potato famine in Idaho,
 You gotta go down there!
 (JB): Dude, I gotta stay here!
 (KG): Why do I have to go?
 (JB): Please! Please!
 (KG): Oh, God, okay.
 (JB): Awesome...is  he gone?
 Al-right,  emergency meeting of Parliament.
 All right Parliament,  I know this is fucked up,
 But Rage, he can't be king  anymore.
 Dudes, he's  encroaching on my de-crees!
 Seriously, let's make him Duke,  a kick ass Duke.
 Or leader formerly known as king.
 But...uh-oh, he's comin' back...
 We'll lead  as two kings,
 Oh yes,  we'll really lead as two kings.
 (KG): Uh, dude?
 (JB): Rage.
 (KG): I went all  over Idaho...
 (JB): Yeah?
 (KG): Uh, plenty of potatoes everywhere.
 (JB): What? There was no famine?
 (KG): Yeah, there was no famine, no.
 (JB): Dude.
 (KG): I don't know what's uh...
 (JB): A toast...
 (KG): A toast...
 (JB): Long live the D.
 (KG): Long live the D.
 (JB): Long  live me.
 I'm sorry; I poisoned your wine.
 (KG): What?
 For the good of the land.
 (KG): You p...
 I poisoned  yours...huh heh, as well.
 (JB/KG): Noooooooooo!!!
No!
 (Faster Tempo):
 City, city, city, city,  city, city,  shitty.
 Shitty, city, shitty, shitty,  city, city,  shitty.
 Hall, hall, hall, hall,  hall, hall,  hall, hall.
 People inside me, are askin'  me to smoke  up City Hall,
 'Cos no one  here is talkin'.
 People inside me, are askin'  me to smoke  up City Hall,
 'Cos no one  here is rockin'.
 People inside me, are askin'  me to smoke  up City Hall,
 'Cos everyone  is Rock-'em  Sock-'em Robots,
 Everyone is Rock-'em  Sock-'em Robots,
 Everyone is Rock-'em  Sock-'em, go!  oh!
