| Lyrics |
I am the king of all that I survey -beware my son it could be yours one day.
Heir transparent to a dynasty -dog - emperor of woe and misery.
It sent me mad but now it makes me furious
I'm shadowed by a doubt - I dubious.
Too many handshakes -not enough sincerity.
Promises of glass break -spilling poisoned treachery.I'm a founding member of the Pessimist Society,I talk to my reflection 'cause I trust it not to lie to me.
Jesus loved Judas - Judas kissed Jesus.
Caesar loved Brutus - Brutus killed Caesar.I am the king of all that I survey -beware my son it could be yours one day.
Heir transparent to a dynasty -dog - emperor of woe and misery.
It sent me mad but now it makes me furious
I'm shadowed by a doubt - I dubious.
Playing noughts and zeros -on my Boolean table.
We're 'warts and all' heroesof this true - life fable.I'm the entertainer at the Bankrupt Club reunion,if there's a church of failure - I'll kneel and take communion.
Wed to Delilah - shorn in my sleep,sentenced by Pilate - and nailed up to weep.I am the king of all that I survey -beware my son it could be yours one day.
Heir transparent to a dynasty -dog - emperor of woe and misery.
It sent me mad but now it makes me furious
I'm shadowed by a doubt - I dubious.
