Democracy don't rule the world
G#
You'd better get that in your head
G# F#
This world is ruled by violence

But I guess that's better left unsaid
G# F#
From Broadway to the Milky Way
G#
That's a lot of territory indeed
G# F#
And a man's gonna do what he has to do
G#
When he's got a hungry mouth to feed
[Chorus]
