Greed, Power & Stealth (The Musical, Re-purposed) Lyrics

I was twenty years of age

Had been living in a cage

Confined to my little nation

Wanting global domination

So studied the ways of Stalin, Pol Pot

Mussolini and Mao

Hatched up this plan

Holding out for a crisis like now

By invitation, members only

Couldn't do this alone

Even for me, an entire globe

Would be too much to own

Greed, power and stealth

They're the bedrock of all my ambition

I just scoff the ideals of transparency

Without remorse or contrition

I rig up a story, being master of spin

Colluding with giants so our rule can begin

'Cos I'm only concerned with growing my wealth

Through greed, power and stealth

So now me and my cabal

Namely, et al

Need to build the new foundations

Via leaders of all nations

It is them that I indoctrinate

Some I pay a bit more

But where they cannot be seduced

I will close the fiscal door

We like to gather each year

I also teach them through my school

Public Obedience Relations

And, of course, Martial Rule

Greed, power and stealth

They're the bedrock of all my ambition

I just scoff the ideals of democracy

Without remorse or contrition

The freedoms you had, you will now have to buy

Conspired with your leaders, on whom I rely

'Cos I'm only concerned with growing my wealth

Through greed, power and stealth

I've a soft spot for control

It plays a most important role

As I herd the population

To the cusp of my creation

It's a design for the future

For which I've been ordained

As I mount my greatest challenge

Some may feel they've been restrained

Do not think that I am cruel

As I will hand them their rewards

If they do as they are told

And oblige the overlords

Greed, power and stealth

They're the bedrock of all my ambition

I embrace the ideals of autocracy

Adopt them into my mission

I spew out the orders and sometimes cajole

In lockstep they follow the central control

As I'm only concerned with growing my wealth

Through greed, power and stealth

Breaking news I wish to tell

That both me and my cartel

Have embraced the cyber platforms

As surveillance for our reforms

Where all is smart and connected

It becomes natures' new deal

With an interface to this world

Neither imagined or real

The climax of achievement

A remodeled society

My fantasy, the human

The upgraded variety

Greed, power and stealth

They're the bedrock of all my ambition

I embrace the ideals of technocracy

Adopt them into my mission

My world to be built on the int'net of things

And we'll be anointed your lordly kings

As I'm only concerned with growing my wealth

Through greed, power and stealth

Greed, power and stealth

I am in my twilight years

Have been burdened by some fears

There's a novel vaccination

With so little information

So I call on my dear friends

Mr Bates and Mr Grouchy

Under guise they give me saline

So my prick is not so Ouchy

There is so much more I wish to share

But my story is long

Despite my best efforts

It cannot fit into just one song
