(
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
