Verse 1
Eb
I wish I was the warrior king
Ab
in every language that I speak
Eb
Lord over all that I survey,
Ab
and all that I see I keep
Eb
Power omnipresent, undiminished,
Ab
uncontrolled
Eb
With a message; violent fury at
Ab
Eb
Ab
Eb
Ab
the center of my soul
Eb
I wish I was a warrior king; inscrutable,
benign
Ab
Eb
With a faceless charging
power always at my command
Ab
Eb
Footsteps so heavy
that the world shakes
Ab
My rage instilling fear
Eb
Yet cautious firm but fair and good
Ab
Eb
Ab
Eb
Ab
The perfect warrior king
Eb
I wish I installed angles in every
Ab
subject's house
Eb
Agents of my goodness no one
Ab
would be without
Eb
A steak on every plate,
Ab
a car for every house
Eb
And if you ever crossed me
Ab
Eb
Ab
Eb
Ab
I'd have your eyes put out
Eb
You don't exist without me; without
Ab
me you don't exist
Eb
And if logic won't convince you
Ab
then there's always this:
Eb
I'm bigger, smarter, stronger, tougher
Ab
Yet sensitive and kind
Eb
And though I could crush you like a bug
Ab
It will never cross my mind
Eb
It wouldn't cross my mind to your neck
Ab
Or rip out your vicious tongue
Eb
It wouldn't cross my mind to snap
your leg like a twig
Ab
Or squash you like some slug
Eb
You are a violent messenger
Ab
And I'm not above your taunts
Eb
And if you hit me you know
I'll kill you
