Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You set yourself above
That all forgiving God
You claim that you believe in
Your kind is gonna fall
Your ship is sinking fast
And all your able men are leaving
[Verse 2]
Only someone who's morally
Superior can possibly
And honestly deserve
To rule my world
[Verse 3]
I talk before I think
You shoot before you know
Who's in your line of fire
So somehow we're the same
We're causing people pain
[Verse 4]
But I stand and take the blame
You scramble to the night
[Verse 5]
Only someone who's morally
Superior can possibly
And honestly deserve
[Verse 6]
Only someone who's morally
Superior can possibly
And honestly deserve
To rule my world
[Verse 7]
To rule my world
To rule my world
To rule my world
To rule my world
To rule my world
[Verse 8]
To rule my world
To rule my world
To rule my world
To rule my world
To rule my world
[Verse 9]
To rule my world
To rule my world
To rule my world
To rule my world
[Verse 10]
To rule my world
To rule my world
To rule my world
To rule my world
[Verse 11]
Explain me one more time
When they kill, it's a crime
When you kill it is justice
