King of the Modern World

I prefer to remain unnamed When I play this kind of game To the victor goes the crown I'll be the ruler of this town Finally crawled my way to the throne Cause of death will remain unknown Placed him neatly in his bed Placed that crown upon my head I had a plan to get to the top I was on a mission I couldn't stop Watched with pride as it unfurled Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world I always knew it'd be like this Ruling my empire of bliss Palace built on dreams and gold Man's crushed spirit and tortured souls I've spent so long in this game I can't remember my real name Made foes of all my friends Gone too far to make amends I had a plan to get to the top I was on a mission I couldn't stop Watched with pride as it unfurled Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world Flew the coop again today Didn't matter can't get away Can't escape the public eye When your empire's gone awry Is this a blessing or a curse My ticket out is in a hearse Now that my world is up in flames I wish I could remember my real name I had a plan to get to the top I was on a mission I couldn't stop Watched with pride as it unfurled Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world I had a plan to get to the top I had a mission I couldn't stop I was on a mission I couldn't stop Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world Now I'm the king of the modern world
