[Verse 1]
I used to rule the world
Sheep would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I weep and moan
Want all the sheep I used to own
[Verse 2]
I used to control the press
Feel the fear, they were kissing my ass
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the doll just took it from me
By the way, I'm not the "J" from the documents
I'm the only patria's friend, not patria man!
[Chorus]
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman catholic choirs are singing
The self tanning lotion is Barbie's shield
I don't even need a hair in the battlefield
These are your assumptions, they are insane
You say that once I won there was never, never an honest word
Well I am still loved by my herd
[Verse 3]
Now there's a wicked and wild wind
New guys are trying to step in -
The mayor Jay-Z with two naughty kids
And my Brutus who I fed with my tits
Revolutionary fate brought me a chance on a silver plate
They're all just puppets on a lonely string
Wouldn't you rather have a puppeteer for your king?
[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
[Chorus]
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman catholic choirs are singing
Barbie loses himself in a mirror
I don't care about looks, I can be your Führer
These are your assumptions, they are insane
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Always an honest word
Maybe just some innocent political dirt
Always an honest word
Put on an "I love J.J." shirt
[Outro]
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm
