The Key

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

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
