God Save the Queen

royal hostage of history
how long has your family been unaware
suffering from her own power
constantly taken away
prisoner of blackmail to wash her hands clean 
poisonous people among you
no problem making them sweat for you

all work and no play makes our brother boring
when in crisis, family upset by misfortune
nothing else to do but play ball

sporting a legacy
how else are we to save the queen

for now they think they are just playing sports
a new tithe to pay from the stands of baseball

everyone should take their chance for these try outs
your already making fools of yourselves singing and dancing
my brother the slugger
sports now more interesting
hundreds finding their own potential and hidden talents

replacing war with sports
the church of baseball
the series of god save the queen
