Viva La Vida

Oh, oh oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh oh,

Oh oh-oh oh, whoa oh-oh, oh-oh oh,

Oh-oh oh, a oh-oh oh



I used to rule the world

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Now in the morning I sleep alone

Sweep the streets that I used to own



Oh, oh oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh oh,

Oh oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh,

Oh-oh oh, a oh oh oh



I used to roll the dice

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

Listen as the crowd would sing

"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key

Next the walls were closed on me

And I discovered that my castles stand

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand



I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my Chris and I'll be your Gwyneth

My missionaries hiding in foreign trenches



For some reason I can't explain

Once you go there was never

Never an h-h-h-h-honest word

And that was when I ruled the world



Oh, oh oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh oh,

Oh oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh,

Oh-oh oh, a oh-oh oh



It was the wicked and a wild wind

Blew down the doors to let me in

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

People couldn't believe what I've become



Revolutionaries wait

For my blonde head on a silver plate

Just a GaGa on a lonely string

Oh who would ever want to be queen?



I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my Chris and I'll be your Gwyneth

My missionaries hiding in foreign trenches



For some reason that I can't explain

I know Yves Saint Laraunt no he won't call my name

Never an h-h-h-h-honest word

But that was when I ruled the world



Now I'm doing my very best not to mess up all the words but,

A strong apology to Coldplay, but I think otherwise it's a good job



Oh, oh oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh oh,

Oh oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh, oh-oh oh,

Oh oh-oh oh,



I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my Chris and I'll be your Gwyneth

The Fame won't change us if we don't let it



For some reason I can't explain

I know Saint Mary won't call my name

Never an h-honest word

But that was when I ruled the world, ruled the world,

Ru-u-u-uled the world.
