Reverse Midas Touch
He has Midas touch in reverse
Lost is mercy, lost are morals
Everything he touches gets worse
Cruel wars and senseless quarrels
He thinks himself higher, greater
He has Midas touch in reverse
A despicable dictator
Ideals and methods perverse
No king, just a man with a curse
Of evil, hate. No discussion.
He has Midas touch in reverse
Hope for peace before more rush in
We stand with those he thinks as foes
Those he cannot turn nor coerce
Who fight a war they never chose
He has Midas touch in reverse
