Did you hear the one about the little girl who called the fire department because her house was on fire? The dispatcher asked how to get to her house, and she replied, “Duh! Big red truck!"
I USED TO RULE THE WORLD
SEAS WOULD RISE WHEN I GAVE THE WORD
NOW IN THE MORNING, I SLEEP ALONE
FEARING THE NATIONS I USED TO OWN
I USED TO ROLL THE DICE
FEEL THE FEAR IN MY ENEMY'S EYES
LISTENED AS THE CROWD WOULD SING
GOD SAVE THE KING, AND GOD SAVE THE QUEEN
ONE MINUTE I HELD THE KEY
NEXT, THE WALLS WERE CLOSED ON ME
AND I DISCOVERED THAT BUCKINGHAM STANDS
UPON PILLARS OF SALT AND PILLARS OF SAND
I HEAR LONDON'S BELLS A-RINGING
REDCOAT CAVALRY CHOIRS ARE SINGING
BE MY MIRROR, MY SWORD AND SHIELD
MY SOLDIERS IN A FOREIGN FIELD
FOR SOME REASON, I CAN'T EXPLAIN
ONCE YOU'D GONE, THERE WAS NEVER
NEVER AN HONEST WORD
AND THAT WAS WHEN I RULED THE WORLD
IT WAS A WICKED AND WILD WIND
BLEW DOWN THE DOORS TO LET ME IN
SHATTERED WINDOWS AND THE SOUND OF DRUMS
PEOPLE COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I'D BECOME
REVOLUTIONARIES WAIT
FOR MY HEAD ON A SILVER PLATE
NOW JUST A PUPPET ON AMERICA'S STRING
OH, WHO WOULD EVER WANT TO BE KING?
I HEAR LONDON'S BELLS A-RINGING
REDCOAT CAVALRY CHOIRS ARE SINGING
BE MY MIRROR, MY SWORD AND SHIELD
MY SOLDIERS IN A FOREIGN FIELD
FOR SOME REASON, I CAN'T EXPLAIN
I KNOW SAINT PETER WON'T CALL MY NAME
NEVER AN HONEST WORD
BUT THAT WAS WHEN I RULED THE WORLD
