There once was a king of paris   There once was an emperor of brazil   There was maybe a loch ness monster   There once was a buffalo bill   Now you can search the whole wide planet   Scratching in the mud and worms   But an honest politician   Is just a contradiction in terms      And if i had the keys to the kingdom   I'd hand them straight to you   In another time another place   Another life another waste   Sometimes the last thing you wanna know is the truth      With your bishops priests and mullahs   And all the mumbo jumbo clans   When you're not accepting women   How can you love your fellow man?   Well you can search the whole wide planet   Down to viruses and germs   A 'sensible' religion   Is just a contradiction in terms      And if i had the keys to the kingdom   I'd hand them straight to you   In another time another place   Another life another waste   Another love another lie   Another small way to die   Sometimes the last thing you wanna know is the truth
