The cathedral's glittering on coronation day
  Crowned heads and cardinals under military sway
  I approach the altar slowly in a humble shroud
  To receive the acclamation of the loyal crowd
  
  Give me power over people
  In a palace with a permanent guard
  And the flags unfurled
  Give devotion, dedication, celebration
  Not some cheap charade
  And I'll rule the world
  All of these delusions of grandeur
  'Cause they said: "We don't understand you"
  And I want revenge
  
  In audience I receive the media's pleas
  They kiss my ring in interviews on bended knees
  In victory I am magnanimous and charming when
  I speak exclusively at length to CNN
  
  About power over people
  In a palace with a permanent guard
  And the flags unfurled
  With devotion, dedication, celebration
  Not some cheap charade
  I will rule the world
  All of these delusions of grandeur
  Because they said: "We don't understand you"
  And I want revenge
  
  Ring the bells, tell everyone
  Ring the bells, tell everyone
  Ring the bells, tell everyone
  Revolution can be fun
  
  All of these delusions of grandeur
  'Cause they said: "We don't understand you"
  And I want revenge
  Give me power over people
  In a palace with a permanent guard
  And the flags unfurled
  Give devotion, dedication, celebration
  Not some cheap charade
  And I'll rule the world
  
  Ring the bells, tell everyone
  Revolution can be fun
