Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's good to be King
And have the absolute authority
All the attributes of divinity
I’m a religion
Look how they all worship me
Don’t have to be good
To be a good king
Just gotta look
Like you’ve got sympathy
Then keep them rooked and suffering
To maximize your profiting
[PreChorus]
Look how the peasants work down to the bone
As I sit up high on my velvety throne
Pulling the strings on the people below
It's so stinking good to be King
[Chorus]
Mine is the kingdom
Mine is the power
Mine is the glory
Forever more
[Verse 2]
Kiss the ring, baby, kiss the ring
Everybody hates me
Ha, ha, ha
[Verse 3]
It’s good to be king
And be the one who screams
"Off with his head"
Or be the one who’s deemed
Savior instead
It’s delicious
To watch a man begging for his death
[PreChorus]
I put in a knife and then give it a twist
A smile opens up on my sinister lips
The joy of the crown is too much to resist
It's so stinking good to be King
I just love it
[Chorus]
Mine is the kingdom
Mine is the power
Mine is the glory
Forever more
Forever more
Forever more
It's so stinking good to be King
