The Lyrics
For anyone who has taken a course in Comparative Politics: The world's most powerful leaders don't have any little insecurities... or do they?
So lately, I've been wonderin’
Who will be there to take my place?
When I'm gone, will China
Take down the murals of my face?
If the Fourth Republic falls
Will the world know me at all?
Or will my headlines take backseat to
A military coup?
[Chorus:]
Am I good, or else could
Someone know better than I know?
Late at night, I dread so
That I’m disliked and I don’t know
And maybe, I'll find out
A way to end democracy
How can I try to guide you
With your elections fair and free?
If the old system falls
Will we choose proportional
Or an alternative vote?
I’m glad I don’t work alone
[Chorus]
How will I share our wealth?
How will my people immigrate?
How will I stop the drugs?
I know now, just quite how
My legacy might still go on
Ruling the scenes from behind
I'll stay in power for all of time
[Chorus]
If I could turn back time
I don’t know if I’d choose this post
If I could speak my mind
I’d let my uncertainties show
Who will be there to take my place?
When I'm gone, will China
Take down the murals of my face?
If the Fourth Republic falls
Will the world know me at all?
Or will my headlines take backseat to
A military coup?
[Chorus:]
Am I good, or else could
Someone know better than I know?
Late at night, I dread so
That I’m disliked and I don’t know
And maybe, I'll find out
A way to end democracy
How can I try to guide you
With your elections fair and free?
If the old system falls
Will we choose proportional
Or an alternative vote?
I’m glad I don’t work alone
[Chorus]
How will I share our wealth?
How will my people immigrate?
How will I stop the drugs?
I know now, just quite how
My legacy might still go on
Ruling the scenes from behind
I'll stay in power for all of time
[Chorus]
If I could turn back time
I don’t know if I’d choose this post
If I could speak my mind
I’d let my uncertainties show
