Back in the years before blood lost all its flavour nYou slipped and fell but fell into my favour nBut I nChose the land between (?) n'Cos I heard they were looking for a saviour nnnSo I focussed my attentions on the wars in the west nDrew up a battle plan and put my armies to the test nCame walking through the stands nAnd you were wearing that dress nLost my answers to the boys in the mess nnDropped to my knees and began to confess... nnI control the world nYou controlled my heart nAnd life was easier than watching evil empires fall apart n[Oh yes it was] nnYou saw that only my blood lust could tear us apart nSo you raided my artillery for a tranquiliser dart nYou steadied; took your aim and shot me straight in the heart nLet your tender reign over me, start nnI spend the next twenty years with my head between your knees nAll the while making sure you heard my cautionary pleas nThere's a price on my head at which nobody would sneeze n'cos I sailed the, sailed the seven seas nAccumulating so many enemies nnThey would fall for me nAnd I would fall to you nAnd your the closest thing I'll ever have to Waterloo nnWhen they write my history nWill they include all your conquests of me? nnI control the world nYou controlled my heart nYour light would always guide my mother in the dark nYour sideward beam preserved in status and in art nAnd life was easier than watching evil empires fall apart.
