(Herod! Herod! Herod!)
(Herod! Herod! Herod!)
(Herod! Herod! Herod!)
(Herod! Herod!)
(Herod!)
It's good to be king
And have the absolute authority
All the attributes of divinity
I'm a religion
Look how they all worship me
Don't have to be good
To be a good king
Just gotta look
Like you've got sympathy
Then keep 'em rooked and suffering
To maximize your profiting
Look how the peasants work down to the bone
As I sit up high on my velvety throne
Pulling the strings on the people below
It's so stinking good to be king
Mine is the kingdom
Mine is the power
Mine is the glory
Forever
More
Kiss the ring, babies, kiss the ring
Everybody hates me
Ha, ha, ha!
It's good to be king
And be the one who screams
"Off with his head!"
Or be the one who's deemed
Savior instead
It's delicious
To watch a man begging for his death
I put in a knife and then give it a twist
A smile opens up on my sinister lips
The joy of the crown is too much to resist
It's so stinking good to be king
(I just love it!)
Mine is the kingdom
Mine is the power
Mine is the glory, forever more
Forever more
Forever more
It's so stinking good to be king!
