Disappointed Lyrics

(Tennant/Lowe)

The cathedral's glittering on coronation day

Crowned heads and cardinals under military sway

I approach the altar slowly in a humble shroud

To receive the acclamation of the loyal crowd

 Give me power over people

 In a palace with a permanent guard

 And the flags unfurled

 Give devotion, dedication, celebration

 Not some cheap charade

 And I'll rule the world

 All of these delusions of grandeur

 'Cause they said: "We don't understand you"

 And I want revenge

In audience I receive the media's pleas

They kiss my ring in interviews on bended knees

In victory I am magnanimous and charming when

I speak exclusively at length to CNN

 About power over people

 In a palace with a permanent guard

 And the flags unfurled

 With devotion, dedication, celebration

 Not some cheap charade

 I will rule the world

 All of these delusions of grandeur

 Because they said: "We don't understand you"

 And I want revenge

Ring the bells, tell everyone

Ring the bells, tell everyone

Ring the bells, tell everyone

Revolution can be fun

 All of these delusions of grandeur

 'Cause they said: "We don't understand you"

 And I want revenge

 Give me power over people

 In a palace with a permanent guard

 And the flags unfurled

 Give devotion, dedication, celebration

 Not some cheap charade

 And I'll rule the world

Ring the bells, tell everyone

Revolution can be fun
