Letra de la canción
There once was a king of Paris
There 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 time
Another place, another place
Another life, another life
Another waste, 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 time)
Another place (another place)
Another life (another life)
Another waste (another waste)
Another love (another time)
Another lie (another day)
Another small way to die
Sometimes the last thing you wanna know is the truth
