What Comes Next? Songtext

von Jonathan Groff

KING GEORGE
They say
The price of my war's not a price that they're
Willing to pay.
Insane.
You cheat with the French, now I'm fighting
With France and with Spain.
I'm so blue.
I thought that we'd made an arrangement
When you went away,
You were mine to subdue.
Well, even despite our estrangement, I've got
A small query for you:
What comes next?
You've been freed.
Do you know how hard it is to lead?
You're on your own.
Awesome. Wow.
Do you have a clue what happens now?
Oceans rise.
Empires fall.
It's much harder when it's all your call.
All alone, across the sea.
When your people say they hate you, don't
Come crawling back to me.
Da da da dat da dat da da da
Da ya da
Da da dat
Da da ya da. . .
You're on your own . . .
