Welcome to New Camelot,
People smile and laugh a lot,
Monsters don't rule us no more,
Things are better than before,
Everything's fine,
Everything's fine,
Prince Charming, he holds the reigns,
And overseas things have changed,
A black man rules The States,
The populous, we have a voice,
We now sit back and rejoice,
Our problems have gone away,
But have they?
But CEOs get paid too much,
And TV ruined my brain,
Some Asian kid, he made my shoes,
And some dictator owns the news,
But still we can't complain,
So many smiling faces staring into space,
They're high on the good times,
But no one's braced for when the good guys become bad guys,
When Camelot crumbles and dies,
When disaster kills the laughter and we all come tumbling after,
Everything's fine,
Everything's fine.
