lyrics

You stand before the king
And his eyes are glowing red
First he whispers to the queen
Then he tuns to you and says

"Boy, you're damned if you do
Boy, you're damned if you don't
Now there isn't any time
So decide the one you want"

You take a moment
While it sinks in
And you politely tell him
Oh, that you won't bend

Oh, oh, oh
Guillotine, gonna lose your head
Gonna lose your head
Gonna lose

Well, the king begins to laugh
And the queen just sips her wine
While the others fill the room
With the talk of their surprise

Now they take you by the arm
And out the door you're led
As they're driving you away
You hear "Off with his head!"

Soon your surrounded
'Cause everybody knows
There'll be no admission
Oh, to see your show

Oh, oh, oh
Guillotine

You wear a smile now
'Cause you have no choice
You're just entertainment
For the girls and boys

Oh, oh, oh
Guillotine, gonna lose your head
Gonna lose your head
Gonna lose your head
Now you lost your head
