The Dictator Decides |
| Will someone please say the unsayable? |
| Will someone please tell me I’m wrong? |
| I live every day |
| Like a sad beast of prey |
| For I have to appear to be strong |
| And that’s wrong |
| I’m too weak to be strong |
| Today I met with the generals |
| And the head of my secret police |
| Discussing conspiracies |
| And prison facilities |
| For opponents I can never release |
| And there’ll be no peace |
| Until they’re released |
| Of course I’m in league with the army |
| It’s not like I’ve got any choice |
| They officially adore me |
| And my father before me |
| But gunpoint has a firm voice |
| The joke is I’m not even a demagogue |
| Have you heard me giving a speech? |
| My facts are invented |
| I sound quite demented |
| So deluded it beggars belief |
| It would be such a relief |
| Not to give another speech |
| Can someone please say the impossible? |
| Crowds should be out on the street |
| I’ve lost any will |
| To threaten and kill |
| I’ll be easy for you to defeat |
| And at any resistance I meet |
| I’ll beat a retreat |
| I’d rather that you didn’t shoot me |
| But I’d quite understand if you did |
| Watch out for the army |
| The generals’ll go barmy |
| At the thought of a takeover bid |
| Oh please will somebody put me |
| Out of my misery? |
| This sad old dictator |
| Must sooner or later |
| Flee so that you can be free |
| If you get rid of me |
| We can all be free |
