lyrics

I’m a tyrant, I rule my state,
on each street corner is a picture of my face.
I talk to God daily, he likes me the most,
and those who say otherwise start hanging from lamp posts.

I’m big and I’m strong
and soon you’ll all see
just how beautiful life can be
when it's under my control.

Mummy never loved me and Daddy was a drunk
but if they could see all I’ve achieved
they’d be so proud of their son.
Things are so much better now,
they’re the best they’ve ever been
and when I speak the crowds erupt
and I feel them let me in.

I know, it’s frightening.
But trust me, you’ll see.
Just how beautiful life can be
when it's under my control.

Isn't it wonderful, we all think the same now,
we all feel the same now, we are all one.
Isn’t it wonderful, we are connected,
we are unified, we are all one.
Isn’t it wonderful, we are utopian,
we are superior, we are all one.

And the masses sing.
And the masses sing.
