It's Hard to Be the Emperor

Lyrics

It's hard to be emperor
 And when it's hard, it's hard
 I'm scarred by being emperor
 No ball, no friends, no yard
 My predecessor hanged himself
 And I might do that too
 The entertainment's awful here
 And, oh, the plays they do
 It's dull to be the emperor
 It's deadly dull, in fact
 Of all the actors in the court
 Not one of them can act
 An early death seems probable
 Perhaps it's just as well
 With drama in this dreadful state
 My life's a living hell, my life's a living hell
