Lyrics

(Chorus) Camelot was cool Camelot was grand But the Camelot we knew It was all a sham We were taken for a ride 'Til a magic bullet claimed our guide Then the spell of Camelot Came off our land The underbelly workings Of the Washington elite Weren't as clear to us as now The statues have clay feet And they stumble in their own mistakes And they drown beneath their Watergates (Chorus) Camelot was cool Camelot was grand But the Camelot we knew It was all a sham We were taken for a ride 'Til a magic bullet claimed our guide Then the spell of Camelot Came off our land Kruschev kept us guessing If we'd live to beat the heat While Vietnam lay hidden In the jungles far from peace And the president would sit and smile And amuse us with his charm and style Camelot looked good in LIFE The hero king and his lovely wife One shot knocked that castle down Now we see the lies that gain the crown Now no pretender to the throne Can ever keep those lies unknown (Chorus) Camelot was cool Camelot was grand But the Camelot we knew It was all a sham We were taken for a ride 'Til a magic bullet claimed our guide Then the spell of Camelot Came off our land
