King of the World

Lyrics

Well, they elected me
 King of the world
 I said, "Here's what I'm gonna do
 Send everybody over to China
 Except for me and you
 Strip ourselves naked
 Go to Beverly Center
 Watch movies and eat Cinnamons"
 I think I'm gonna like
 Being king of the world
 For a change
 They said, "As king of the world
 You can have anything
 Your greedy royal heart desires"
 I said, "All I really want
 Is some wide open space
 Where I can set forest fires
 I want peace and quiet, I want nudity
 I want sex and wine and love"
 They said "So let it be written
 Your highness
 So let it be done"
 I am the king
 The king of the world
 It could have been you
 But it's me
 I'm surprised you didn't hear about it
 It was on the cover of Newsweek
 November 1993
 As king of the world
 I'll occasionally go to China
 To visit you guys
 You don't have to be afraid
 I don't need you to bow down
 I'm not God
 I'm just the king, I realize
 Well, it might be nice though
 If you'd kiss me feet
 And call me, "All knowing leader of men"
 If you were king of the world
 I'm sure you'd want the same
 For yourself
 I am the king of the world
 King of the world
 Can you believe my luck?
 I'm king of the world
