Intro verse 1 There once was a king of Paris, there once was an emperor of Brazil There was maybe a Loch Ness Monster, there once was a Buffalo Bill Now you can search the whole wide planet, scratching in the mud and worms But an honest politician is just a contradiction in terms And if I had the keys to the kingdom, I'd hand them straight to you In another time, another place, another life, another waste Sometimes the last thing you wanna know is the truth Instrumental verse 2 With your bishops priests and mullahs, and all the mumbo jumbo clans When you're not accepting women, how can you love your fellow man Well, you can search the whole wide planet, down to viruses and germs A 'sensible' religion is just a contradiction in terms And if I had the keys to the kingdom, I'd hand them straight to you In another time, another place, another life, another waste Another love, another lie, another small way to die Sometimes the last thing you wanna know is the truth Outro
