About Kings and Queens

"Kings and Queens" is Killing Joke's third single from their fifth studio album, Night Time. It was originally released by E. G. Records on 21 March 1985 as a 12" and 7" single in the UK, and a 7" single by Polydor in the Netherlands. It was produced by Chris Kimsey. The 12" single featured "Kings and Queens (A Right Royal Mix)" as an A-side, and both "The Madding Crowd (Remixed by Killing Joke)" and "Kings and Queens" as B-sides. E. G.'s 7" single and Polydor's 7" single exempted "Kings and Queens (A Right Royal Mix)" and instead featured "Kings and Queens" as the A-side, and "The Madding Crowd (Remixed by Killing Joke)" as the B-side. E. G. also released a remix of the song, "Kings and Queens (Knaves Mix)", as an A-side and featured the same B-sides as the 12" single of "Kings and Queens".

Well take it easy 
While the world goes crazy 
As it's just another day 
And we've all been through the mangle 
And our pockets are empty 
But we'll live like kings and queens 
Hear the choirs of noise sing 
Take a load off my mind soothe me 
Live like kings and queens 

Well easy sleazy 
In and out and back again 
Feel a power running through me 
And I'm alive and kicking 
I accept submission 
To the pleasures of the flesh 
And the joy of pain 
Satisfy me satisfy 
Live like kings and queens 

I said, "take it easy 
"Sanity has come" 
I can never undo 
The wrong of the beginning 
There's so many hungry 
But I'm gonna turn a blind eye 
'Cause I've got to live now 
Rejoice and kill your heart 'cos I say
Live like kings and queens
