Warrior King (Revenge) — Lou Reed

I wish i was the warrior king In every language that i speak Lord over all that i survey And all that i see i keep Power omnipresent Undiminished uncontrolled With a message violent fury At the center of my soul

I wish i was a warrior king Inscrutable benign With a faceless charging power Always at my command Footsteps so heavy that the world shakes My rage instilling fear, ah, ha Yet cautious firm but fair and good The perfect warrior king

I wish i installed angles In every subject's house Agents of my goodness No one would be without A steak on every plate A car for every house And if you ever crossed me I'd have your eyes put out

You don't exist without me Without me you don't exist And if logic won't convinced you Then there's always this I'm bigger, smarter, stronger, tough Yet sensitive and kind And though i could crush you like a bug It will never cross my mind

It wouldn't cross my mind to your neck Or rip out your vicious tongue It wouldn't cross my mind to snap your leg like a twig Or squash you like some slug You are a violent messenger And i'm not above your taunts And if you hit me you know i'll kill you Because i'm the warrior king
