[Verse 1]
Will someone please say the unsayable?
Will someone please tell me I'm wrong?
I live every day
Like a sad beast of prey
For I have to appear to be strong
And that’s wrong
I’m too weak to be strong

[Verse 2]
Today I met with the generals
And the head of my secret police
Discussing conspiracies
And prison facilities
For opponents I can never release
And there’ll be no peace
Until they’re released

[Verse 3]
Of course I'm in league with the army
It's not like I've got any choice
They officially adore me
And my father before me
But gunpoint has a firm voice

[Verse 4]
The joke is I'm not even a demagogue
Have you heard me giving a speech?
My facts are invented
I sound quite demented
So deluded it beggars belief
It would be such a relief
Not to give another speech
