Megalomania

(album: Guilty Until Proven Insane - 1978)

There's a little bit of Adolf in everyone
And the hand that holds the whip
Sometimes has all the fun
There's a hidden desire
That wants to rock the earth
And beat up old Idi Amin
For what it's worth

Singing ooh ooh, megalomania
Ooh ooh, megalomania

Take a little ego, take a lot of money
Add some psychosis to the land of milk and honey
Get it on the radio, the TV and the paper
Stir up the nation then you can rape her

Call in the army, buy a politician
Promise anything to improve your own position
Print yourself some money
Buy the world on a short-term loan
Invade Tasmania then you call it home

Legalize murder, imprison the students
A public execution or two
Put up the taxes on necessity
Be strong in everything you do
Let your supporters live in luxury
But shoot them in the back when they get too smart
Keep one step ahead of yourself, beware of that poison dart

And the businessman sits dreaming in his office
Of making his next big deal
The one that will bring down the president
Everybody will click their heels
The people on the streets will turn to him because he has the answer
One night in the white house he'll confess to his wife
"You know I'm just a necromancer
You know I'm just a necromancer, you know I'm just a @@@@@@@@@ necromancer"
