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 the 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
