D 
I arrive in the city 
             A 
Where they've unveiled a bust 
   Em 
Of my predecessor 
G              A 
Still much discussed 

D 
We tried to forget him 
    A 
His crimes were catalogued 
Em 
But in the new circumstances 
      G           A 
Once again he's a god

D 
I want them to fear me 
    A 
Like everyone feared him 
Em 
Arrested and shot 
    G            A 
But still they revered him 

D 
Like him I'll win 
A 
I won't be eclipsed 
Em 
I want men to die 
        G             A 
With my name on their lips

A/C# 
I'm the living embodiment 
    G/B 
Of a heart of stone 
A/C# 
A human monument 
      G/B 
To testosterone 
F#m 
Though inside I'm dead 
     Em7 
It's too late to lose 
F#m 
I'm all they ever talk about 
         G              A 
On their news cycle of abuse

D 
I'm there on your borders 
A 
Not gonna quit 
Em 
To new world orders 
       G        A 
I will never submit 

D 
Call me a warmonger 
         A 
And I'll give you a war 
Em 
Say I'm a cheat 
         G              A 
And I'll still fake the score 

D 
There's no defeat 
          A 
That I'll answer for 
Em 
The West is effete 
            G           A 
And they're begging for more 

D 
I'll get it all back 
    A 
The old status quo 
Em 
I remember how it was 
      G            A 
And I won't let it go
