Lyrics The New Pornographers

The New Pornographers

The Laws Have Changed

It was crime at the time

But the laws, we changed 'em

Though the hero for hire's

Forever the same one

Introducing for the first time

Pharaoh on the microphone

Sing all hail

What'll be revealed today

When we peer into the great unknown

From the line to the throne?

Awakened to cheers after years on the faultline

We are shocked to be here

In the face of the meantime

Pharaoh, all your methods have taught me

Is to separate my blood from bone

It will all fail

Feeling what i feel today

When we peer into the great unknown

From the line to the throne

Form a line through here

Form a line to the throne

Alone in the chain

It remains to be seen how

How well you can play

When the pawn takes a queen now

It was crime at the time

But the laws have changed

Yeah
