To understand the full song, you need the lyric video, while we all prefer the live performances, this is one that needs the official lyric video. You won't be sorry you watched it!
They segue into "Killer Queen" and the song is also missing a couple of verses. To get the full effect of Freddie's delicious anger you must listen to the studio lyric version. After the release of their third album they were working hard and gaining popularity but given a piddly allowance doled out to them by management. Queen began to question why managers, Norman and Barry Sheffield of Trident Studios, were driving around in Rolls Royce autos. John requested an advance for a down payment on a home (he was expecting a baby) and they refused. Roger was chastised for breaking his drumsticks. Freddie fumed and wrote "Death on Two Legs" and Queen found new management.
This is only half of the song,the lyric video is the best. This was a dis song ,the words were hateful and harsh, really great . Moral of this song,don't cross Freddie and steal from the group. Great reaction xx
