It was a poisonous time to mix poison with wine
And a serpent that slept inside a poisonous mind
And I only really cared about the noblest class
The other lower forms of life I only cared about tax
And I supported a war raging across the sea
That I never really thought could back fire on me
Because I showed the other people to be free from their king
Yet I showed my own people they could do the same thing
It was the longest regime ended with guillotine
And now my head's in a basket I can hear them all sing
He thought he fooled the world when he ruled the world
But if you fool the world you never rule it
