Lyrics
[Verse 1] I wish I was the warrior king in every language that I speak Lord over all that I survey and all that I see, I keep Power omnipresent, undiminished, uncontrolled With a massive violent fury at the center of my soul [Verse 2] I wish I was a warrior king, inscrutable, benign With a faceless, charging power always at my command Footsteps so heavy that the world shakes, my rage instilling fear, ah, ha Yet cautious, firm, but fair and good, the perfect warrior king [Verse 3] I wish I installed angels in every subject's house Agents of my goodness, no one would be without A steak on every plate, a car for every house And if you ever crossed me, I'd have your eyes put out [Verse 4] You don't exist without me, without me you don't exist And if logic won't convince you, then there's always this I'm bigger, smarter, stronger, tough, yet sensitive and kind And though I could crush you like a bug, it would never cross my mind [Verse 5] It wouldn't cross my mind to break your neck or rip out your vicious tongue It wouldn't cross my mind to snap your leg like a twig or squash you like some slug You are a violent messenger and I'm not above your taunts And if you hit me, you know I'll kill you because I'm the warrior king
