The Lyrics

If you're going to be King, you have to act like a King, right? Some disagree...which is a bit tricky when that someone is the King.
Stupid crown, mmm, oh-oh-ooh-ooh-mmm, huh
I hate it now, mmm, oh-oh-ooh-ooh-mmm
When I have it on, mmm, oh-oh-ooh-ooh-mmm, ah
Have to act a ponce
Said I was ready but I'm so sweaty
Yeah, I just can't pull this off, pull this off, pull this off, ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

This whole damn charade is hard, ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Even "Damn you" is too harsh, ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
I can't express opinions in the way I'd like
I must try to be regal

Just isn't me, mmm, oh-oh-ooh-ooh-mmm, huh
The whole kingdom sees, mmm, oh-oh-ooh-ooh-mmm
That I restrain, yeah, mmm, oh-oh-ooh-ooh-mmm
What I wanna say
I can't get pissy at folks real iffy
Want to tell them to rack off, to rack off, to rack off, ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

He's a bad guy, am I wrong? Ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
You'll say my instincts were strong, ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
And yet it's best to reign the gestures in? Yeah, right
I must try to be regal

This feels silly, tryna mould me
A worthy brow to hold the crown
What's the time? That's right, not Dark Ages time
Please, I can't be regal

No-one is impressed, they're not, ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
By my manners, what they want, ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Is honesty and not holding back my true side
Shouldn't try to be regal, try to be regal, oh-oh-oh
A risk I'll go too far? Ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
No, I'm not that kind of arse, ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
But to restrict myself so much crosses the line
I won't try to be regal

Oh-oh, oh-oh, mmm-do-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh-ooh
Mmm, oh-oh, oh-oh-mmm, mmm-do-oh-oh-oh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

This probably would only work with a young person suddenly ascended to the throne when the former King suddenly accidentally cut his head off while combing his hair or something. The older they get, the more resigned to expectations they would be, I'd say.
