[Verse 1]
So fucking 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
Hating on each other
'Till they're in the graves
So if you ask God to bless your nation
Why not ask Him to bless the whole wide world?

[Verse 2]
It was ten hard years 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
Hating each other
'Till they're in the graves
So if you ask God to bless your nation
Why not ask Him to bless the whole wide world?

[Post-Chorus]
Whole wide world
(What a fuckin' mess we're in)
Whole world
(Who the fuck you messin' with?)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
People are killing
People are dying
Hating each other
'Till they're in the graves
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?
