"I Want To Be King" lyrics - ROGER WATERS
Make your choice, find your voice
[Revolutionary Priest:]
Make your choice, find your voice
[Chorus:]
I want to be King, Queen, Courtesan, Dauphin
I want to be Cardinal, Capitaine, King of Kings
I want to be God
[Solo Boy:]
I want to be the King
[Solo Girl:]
I want to be the Queen
[Solo Girl:]
I want to be the Courtesan
[Solo Boy:]
I want to be the Dauphin
[Solo Boy:]
I want to be the Cardinal
[Solo Boy:]
I want to be the Capitaine
[Chorus:]
I want to be the King of Kings
I want to be God
[Solo Boy:]
I am a great big pig
[Solo Boy:]
I am the King of France
[Solo Boy:]
His wife likes to dance
[Solo Boy:]
I am the Church of Rome
I stand behind the throne
[Solo Boy:]
I am the public purse; they think I'm bottomless
[Solo Boy:]
I am the public accounts; I admit I'm a bit of a mess
[Solo Girl:]
I am the American war and they say I'm rather greedy
[Solo Girl:]
I am the national debt; I'm big but needy
[Solo Boy:]
I am a noble
[Solo Boy:]
I am the clergy
[Solo Boy:]
I am the ordinary man
[Solo Girl:]
I am hungry
[Solo Girl:]
I am starving!
[Children's Chorus:]
The cake needs re-carving!
[Troublemaker:]
I'm a ravening wolf
[Male Chorus:]
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a ravening wolf
[Female Chorus:]
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a heart of thorns
[Male Chorus:]
It's the end of the shield of divine law
[Troublemaker:]
I'm the oak tree
[Children's Chorus:]
I am the oak tree and I am the columbine
I am the pig searching for truffles
[Chorus:]
And I am the peacock whose feathers are ruffled
