Jellyfish Brigade - If I Were a King lyrics

[Hook]: Raise your gla** and toast with me, we'll deal with the difficulties when the morning comes Yeah we're done with the fight—well at least for the night It's easier, my friend, beneath the moon's shining light Raise your gla** and toast with me, I'll be here with you 'til we see the next orange sun Well, if I were a king, with riches to my name I swear to you, my friend, we'd live right now the same [Verse 1]: Feast for the fam, even in the heat of famine Stone Soup Community, gather what we can manage I Peter Pan'd it with lost boys for many long ones Been through some struggles and sh**, but it's been awesome Chalice raised for the battle-slain kinship Who missed the opportunity to grow and change with us We pa**ed their folklore with misty eyes and fond remembrance So our seeds' seeds mention them as gods and legends Tipsy with a peasant's heart and an open bottle Exhaling smoky question marks into the only convo I've challenged wits and been a part of many pointless squabbles Then fell into those friendly arms when I was going gonzo So eat up, meats, berries, veggies from the garden Them Hives Colony kids won't see anybody starving, nope We're broke but celebrating with an all-nighter Surrounded by the dreamers and my favorite songwriters [Hook]: Raise your gla** and toast with me, we'll deal with the difficulties when the morning comes Yeah we're done with the fight—well at least for the night It's easier, my friend, beneath the moon's shining light Raise your gla** and toast with me, I'll be here with you 'til we see the next orange sun Well, if I were a king, with riches to my name I swear to you, my friend, we'd live right now the same [Verse 2]: My j**eled crown is a tilted, black fitted hat My throne's a ragged, wicker rocking chair that creaks I leave the kingdom for where lily pads kick it at Returning to the crib with royalty waiting there for me Where will we be when our beards are white and curly When our silence is our virtue and we wake up bright and early To hear the morning birds and carve a sturdy walking stick And understand a thing that was and will be always is? I know it won't be here, that's why I hug you like I do We're still the caterpillars spinning bu*terfly cocoons Our best is yet to come, I say that proud as I can be In hopes my best is a horizon beaming out of reach So drink up, there's laughter and some tears when we link up Entertaining fables and philosophies we think of So when I'm pulled down like I've had my phoenix wings cut I call my family to join and live it like a king does [Hook]
