[Verse 1]
So fricking paranoid from guilt
From hate, from murderous intent, it pays the rent
There ain’t no peace when you’ve killed your father
Usurped the throne in time for Lent, is this all we get?

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why we want to be kings
Tell me why we want to be queens
There’s never any peace from the moment that you seize the throne

[Chorus]
People are killing, people are dying
People need something to ease the pain
So if you ask God to bless your nation
Why not ask him to bless the whole wide world?

[Verse 2]
It was 18 days since the attack
So many died, we had to pay them back, we couldn’t slack
So we called on someone we could trust
How were we to know it would all go bust and turn to dust?

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why we want to be kings
Tell me why we want to be queens
There’s never any peace from the moment that you seize the throne
[Chorus]
People are killing, people are dying
People need something to ease the pain
So if you ask God to bless your nation
Why not ask him to bless the whole wide world?

[Bridge]
Whole wide world
Whole wide world
Whole wide world

[Solo]

[Chorus]
People are killing, people are dying
People need something to ease the pain
So if you ask God to bless your nation
Why not ask him
Why not ask him
Why not ask him to bless the whole wide world?
