lyrics

Louis Auguste lived in the Frenchlands
He was in line to be the king
As it was required in the business
He took Marie to be his Queen
They rules the whole country together
Til the country rules them back
nearing the end of the revolution
Well the king said as his voice began to crack

Oh French beauty, dont you cry none of those tears
One day they'll pen us in history, we'll live for eternity

Oh life sure is funny
And death baby its cunning
But we're still in the running
Together we will be alright

Takin' things back to the time of Tudors
When Henry rules the world
He stood so tall against the church
But he laid so long with many a girl
He got himself in a situation
Where he needed to make life
So one, after one, after another
He put his fate on all his wives

Oh dear Annie, I'm afraid you have lost your head
Cause you made a fool of me, but I need a boy instead

Oh life sure is funny
And death baby its cunning
But we're still in the running
But I guarantee you that chivalry is dead

Salem was known for all its witches
Who were tried and judged to die
How many of those poor old women
Died because of lies
For in the new world in the time of the Puritans
Adultery was a sin
So one, after one, after another
Witches were spotted by the worst of men

Oh Johnny Edwards, don't you go preach from your mount
Cause your brimstone has burned the lives of good women

Oh life sure is funny
And death baby its cunning
But we're still in the running
Even though many people cheat to get ahead
