i want my crown

in the dark of night the secret vote was cast

we drove the union down at last

my evil deeds have ruined the land

a house divided cannot stand

i want my crown

i want my crown

the working man has been cast down

i want my crown

i want my crown

then the day dawned bright and hard

when i stole away the court of nine

the judas men served the cause

and the sacred church of law is mine

i want my crown

i want my crown

justice has been cast down

i want my crown

i want my crown

you love the gleaming war machine

your hearts beat fast

your eyes on the prize

war without end

riches untold

oil and god and your righteous pride

i want my crown

i want my crown

peace on earth has been cast down

i want my crown

i want my crown

i'm going to sit here and watch your little world come tumbling down

i want my crown

i want my crown
