If I were the king of this [whole/old?] crazy world
I'm telling you, there'd be some changes made
In my golden crown, I'd lead the big parade
If I were king, there'd be some changes made

I'd take you from your prison and set you on a throne
Instead of threads of linen, you'd wear a satin gown
Upon my throne so safe and sound, you'd never be afraid
If I were king, there'd be some changes made

I'd take you from your prison and set you on a throne
Instead of threads of linen, you'd wear a satin gown
Upon my throne so safe and sound, you'd never be afraid
If I were king there'd be some changes made

I ain't no king, I'm just a fool
But in my masquerade
If I were king, there'd be some changes made
