(Tennant/Lowe)The cathedral's glittering on coronation dayCrowned heads and cardinals under military swayI approach the altar slowly in a humble shroudTo 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 'Cause they said: "We don't understand you" And I want revengeIn audience I receive the media's pleasThey kiss my ring in interviews on bended kneesIn victory I am magnanimous and charming whenI 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 revengeRing the bells, tell everyoneRing the bells, tell everyoneRing the bells, tell everyoneRevolution can be fun All of these delusions of grandeur 'Cause they said: "We don't understand you" And I want revenge 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 worldRing the bells, tell everyoneRevolution can be fun
