Will someone please say the unsayable? Will someone please tell me I'm wrong? I live every day like a sad beast of prey For I have to appear to be strong And that's wrong I'm too weak to be strong Today I met with the generals And the head of my secret police Discussing conspiracies and prison facilities For opponents I can never release And there'll be no peace Until they're released Of course I'm in league with the army It's not like I've got any choice They officially adore me and my father before me But gunpoint has a firm voice The joke is I'm not even a demagogue Have you heard me giving a speech? My facts are invented I sound quite demented So deluded it beggars belief It would be such a relief not to give another speech Can someone please say the impossible? Crowds should be out on the street I've lost any will to threaten or kill I'll be easy for you to defeat And any resistance I meet I'll beat a retreat I'd rather that you didn't shoot me But I'd quite understand if you did Watch out for the army The generals will go barmy At the thought of a takeover bid Oh please will somebody put me Out of my misery? This sad old dictator must sooner or later Flee so that you can be free If you get rid of me We can all be free
