Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you see a flaming sword in your dreams at night
And feel inspired to assign me up the frontline
Well, give the order, you'll storm the border
Without me
[Verse 2]
If they tell you you're a genius, but you need some proof
Ask anybody on the payroll to go out with you
If they avoid you, then they'll award you
Definitely
[Verse 3]
Nobody that's around just seems to get it right
How hard is it to follow just a few guidelines?
And smile
While you do it
[Verse 4]
If you want a page written 'bout you in a book
But you need a food tester 'cause you cursed the cook
I'll take some wine, but you can dine
Without me
[Verse 5]
Without me
Who would let you play God and make believe
That all the blasphemy
Is coming only from me, oh
[Verse 6]
If you're bound for the throne, but the king won't die
I can occupy the queen, but that's for her and I
I can do her, and you'll be ruler
Without me
[Verse 7]
Yeah, you can do it, but you can do it
Without me
