about
No, this song isn't about Michael Jackson, or Elvis. It's about the first Canadian soldiers killed in combat since the Korean war. They were killed in Afghanistan - by Americans. With friends like these...
lyrics
The King is dead.
I never knew him until well after it was too late.
The rain poured down when four after 50 hit the news
And we all sat up straight

And will you be the same
Or will you fade away
Will you be the same
Even though I know your name

Does it matter in the end?
Does anyone say they’re sorry?
Can I make things better?
No. It’s too late. It’s too late.

The King is dead, boxed, and shipped away
After the sky fell down.
And all his horses and his men
Cannot bring him back again,
And his friends don’t have an answer.

And will you be the same
Or will you fade away
Will you be the same
Even though I know your name

Does it matter in the end?
Does anyone say they’re sorry?
Can I make things better?
No. It’s too late. It’s too late.

Do you want me to tell you freedom is a sham?
What good are you to anyone now?
And what would you say if you had one more chance?

Does it matter in the end?
Does anyone say they’re sorry?
Can I make things better?
No. It’s too late. It’s too late.
