(Tennant/Lowe) |
|
The cathedral's glittering on coronation day |
|
Crowned heads and cardinals under military sway |
|
I approach the altar slowly in a humble shroud |
|
To receive the acclamation of the loyal crowd |
|
Give me power over people |
|
In a palace with a permanent guard |
|
And the flags unfurled |
|
Give devotion, dedication, celebration |
|
Not some cheap charade |
|
And I'll rule the world |
|
All of these delusions of grandeur |
|
'Cause they said: 'We don't understand you' |
|
And I want revenge |
|
In audience I receive the media's pleas |
|
They kiss my ring in interviews on bended knees |
|
In victory I am magnanimous and charming when |
|
I speak exclusively at length to CNN |
|
About power over people |
|
In a palace with a permanent guard |
|
And the flags unfurled |
|
With devotion, dedication, celebration |
|
Not some cheap charade |
|
I will rule the world |
|
All of these delusions of grandeur |
|
Because they said: 'We don't understand you' |
|
And I want revenge |
|
Ring the bells, tell everyone |
|
Ring the bells, tell everyone |
|
Ring the bells, tell everyone |
|
Revolution can be fun |
|
All of these delusions of grandeur |
|
'Cause they said: 'We don't understand you' |
|
And I want revenge |
|
Give me power over people |
|
In a palace with a permanent guard |
|
And the flags unfurled |
|
Give devotion, dedication, celebration |
|
Not some cheap charade |
|
And I'll rule the world |
|
Ring the bells, tell everyone |
|
Revolution can be fun |
