|
Well, they elected me |
|
King of the World |
|
I said, "Here's what I'm gonna do |
|
Send everybody over to China |
|
Except for me and you |
|
Strip ourselves naked |
|
Go to Beverly Center |
|
Watch movies and eat Cinnabons" |
|
I think I'm gonna like |
|
Being king of the world |
|
For a change |
|
They said, "As king of the world |
|
You can have anything |
|
Your greedy royal heart desires" |
|
I said, "All I really want |
|
Is some wide open space |
|
Where I can set forest fires |
|
I want peace and quiet |
|
I want nudity |
|
I want sex and wine and love" |
|
They said "So let it be written, |
|
Your highness, |
|
So let it be done" |
|
I am the king |
|
The king of the world |
|
It could have been you |
|
But it's me |
|
I'm suprised you didn't hear about it |
|
It was on the cover of newsweek |
|
November 1993 |
|
As king of the world |
|
I'll occasionally go |
|
To China to visit you guys |
|
You don't have to be afraid |
|
I don't need you to bow down |
|
I'm not God |
|
I'm just the king, I realize |
|
Well, it might be nice though |
|
If you'd kiss me feet |
|
And call me, "All knowing leader of men" |
|
If you were king of the world |
|
I'm sure you'd want the same |
|
For yourself |
|
I am the king of the world |
|
King of the world |
|
Can you believe my luck |
|
I'm king of the world |
