lyrics

With uniform of labels,
And epaulet credentials,
They'll Doff their caps to station and rank.
Keep toiling hard to make it,
Though brass will likely take it.
Oh! you'd go the whole way that way,
Just to see the day you're the...

Emperor of big city, Ruler with impunity,
Let them fall who fail destiny.
You'll drive by with fat Mercedes Benz, With Moolah, but no amends.
Killing herbs for heartache with greed,
The herbs for your heartache

There's smiling in dystopia,
They celebrate in fear,
They're dancing as though stamping out flames,
They wake up every morning,
Smother the voice a-calling.
Oh! You'll go the whole way that way,
Just to see the day you're the…

Enter a new freeloader to the game
Spurning echoes of time.
Panning for gold only fools will ever claim
Eager to fly and flounder, over and over again

You're the emperor, You're the governor
You're commissioner, Ruler you are.
