Peasant John: We've been trying something new
In the dominion since you went away
With no king upon the throne, we've all been left alone
To build a new tomorrow here today
What if every single soul with an opinion got to have their say?
If on every point of note, we simply took a vote
Peasant John + Peasants: We build a new tomorrow here today!
Galavant: So the butcher gets a vote?
Peasant John: Yep!
King Richard: The baker gets a vote?
Peasant John: Yep, and everyone who couldn't vote before!
Peasant #1: Except of course the women
Peasant #2: And we won't let him or him in
Peasant John: We mean everybody else
Peasant #3: Except the poor!
Galavant: Progressive for the middle ages
King Richard: Meh
Peasant John: Then we vote on every pressing public question
Either-
Peasants: Yay!
Peasant John: Or-
Peasants: Nay!
Galavant: Nice
Peasant John: Everybody gets to choose
Peasant #2: Except the you know whos
Peasant John + Peasants: As we build a new tomorrow here today!
Peasant John: If you'd like to make a statement or suggestion
Simply stand
Peasant #4: Oh!
Peasant John: And hey!
King Richard: Him?
Peasant #4: Every person counts the same
Peasant #1: Except of course the lame
Peasant #2: ...and the lepers!
Peasant #3: ...and the gingers!
Peasant #4: ...and the witches!
Peasant #5: ...and the heathens!
Peasant #6: ...and the bastards!
Peasant #7: ...and the gypsies!
Peasant #8: ...and the commies!
Peasant #2: ...and the hippies!
Peasants: As we build a new tomorrow!
Peasant John: A fair and square tomorrow!
Peasants: A 'morrow where tomorrow live today!
So we all would march together towards the future
Peasant John: Well not all per se
Just the ones who look like me
Peasants: It's called democracy!
Peasant #8: The landed!
Peasant #3: ...and the wealthy!
Peasant #5: ...and the pious!
Peasant #7: ...and the healthy!
Peasant #1: ...and the straight ones!
Peasant #2: ...and the pale ones!
Peasant #1: ...and we only mean the male ones!
Peasant John: If you're all of the above, then you're ok!
Peasant John + Peasants: As we build a new tomorrow here today!
