about

When a despot discovers it's time to leave there are no more party invitations for him. He just takes what he can and leaves (if he's lucky)

lyrics

The Party’s Over

Did you think that you would be
President for eternity
You had your fun, take your cash
Run away
Save it for another rainy day.

You got your paintings, got your gold
From the country you just sold
You were the bane of the neighbourhood
Run away
We don’t want to play today.

You run, you hide
No one invites you anymore
The party’s over,
You scream, you cry
It doesn’t matter what you do
The party’s over.

How could you have stooped so low
To have reaped but never sewn
Hack and burn, parch the land,
Run away.
Trying to live off this land of clay.

Are you the only one or is it true
That there are others just like you
To take your place now that you’re gone
Run away.
Where oh where to run today.

You run, you hide
No one invites you anymore
The party’s over,
You scream, you cry
It doesn’t matter what you do
The party’s over.

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
The party’s over, over
