i want to be king
Singer:roger waters
i want to be the courtesan
i want to be the cardinal
i want to be the capitaine
i want to be the king of kings
i stand behind the throne
i am the public purse; they think i'm bottomless
i am the public accounts; i admit i'm a bit of a mess
i am the american war and they say i'm rather greedy
i am the national debt; i'm big but needy
the cake needs re-carving!
it's the end of the shield of divine law
i am the oak tree and i am the columbine
i am the pig searching for truffles
and i am the peacock whose feathers are ruffled
