You say you want to rule the world
You want to make us all think like you
You say you want to say what god
Everyone gets to pray unto
You say you only want one language
And if you don't learn it you'll be shot
You say you want to tell all women how to dress
And tell them when they look real hot
And when you get what you want
What you really want
What then, what next
You say you want to say what's taught in schools
What books all of the kids are to read
They should reflect who you think you are
And every single one of your good deed
Your face will be on the dollar
The fives, the tens and all the twenties
And who will make a naysaying sound
They'll be too busy down on their knees
Will you be so damn happy
Will get just what you need
Will you make it a better world
If so, I hope you succeed
