I wish I was the warrior king
|
in every language that I speak
|
Lord over all that I survey
|
and all that I see I keep
|
Power omnipresent
|
undiminished uncontrolled
|
With a message violent fury
|
at the center of my soul
|
|
I wish I was a warrior king
|
inscrutable benign
|
With a faceless charging power
|
always at my command
|
Footsteps so heavy that the world shakes
|
my rage instilling fear, ah, ha
|
Yet cautious firm but fair and good
|
the perfect Warrior King
|
|
I wish I installed angles
|
in every subject's house
|
Agents of my goodness
|
no one would be without
|
A steak on every plate
|
a car for every house
|
And if you ever crossed me
|
I'd have your eyes put out
|
|
You don't exist without me
|
without me you don't exist
|
And if logic won't convinced you
|
then there's always this
|
I'm bigger, smarter, stronger, tough
|
yet sensitive and kind
|
And though I could crush you like a bug
|
it will never cross my mind
|
|
It wouldn't cross my mind to your neck
|
or rip out your vicious tongue
|
It wouldn't cross my mind to snap your leg like a twig
|
or squash you like some slug
|
You are a violent messenger
|
and I'm not above your taunts
|
And if you hit me you know I'll kill you
|
because I'm the Warrior King
|
