a work in progress, but I think it's getting pretty close. a tongue-in-cheek take on our sorry state of affairs in the US... and probably elsewhere as well.
Lyrics
Everything is right in the world tonight
Everything is right in my world
No one cares about one nation under a God who’s on vacation
Let it be while the world turns
The sun is always shining on me
They stay in my shadow constantly
It took them years to be the perfect
Naive, true and loyal subject
Let them eat cake while they genuflect
And let the gulf between us widen
Or turn the screw and let it tighten
As long as I am happier than them
It’s good to be the king
It’s nice to squander everything
There’s never been a better time, it’s good to be the king…
Everything is right in the world tonight
Everything is right in my world
Ruling with an iron fist
Or just a small flick of the wrist
Thank you, I’m fine the way it is
Always keep the home fires churning
I’ll just fiddle while it’s burning
The lemmings and the sheep know
While they live in squalor I just look the other way
It’s good to have it all
It’s good to build a wall to keep it in, or keep them out
It’s good to be the one making laws
It’s good to have this solitary cause
It’s good to live in epic style
It’s good to sneer instead of smile
It’s good to feed my inner child
Sleeping soundly all the while-
It’s good to be the king
It’s nice to squander everything
Never been a better time, it’s good to be the king…
Everything is right in the world tonight
It’s good to be the king.
It’s good to be the best at everything, The King!
