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
because 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´m 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
Revolution can be fun
