[01:33.67]Will someone please say the unsayable?
[01:37.83]Will someone please tell me I'm wrong?
[01:42.00]I live every day like a sad beast of prey
[01:46.16]For I have to appear to be strong
[01:50.02]And that's wrong
[01:53.19]I'm too weak to be strong
[01:55.53]
[01:59.05]Today I met with the generals
[02:03.26]And the head of my secret police
[02:07.48]Discussing conspiracies and prison facilities
[02:11.73]For opponents I can never release
[02:17.38]And there'll be no peace
[02:19.10]Until they're released
[02:21.06]
[02:24.53]Of course I'm in league with the army
[02:28.61]It's not like I've got any choice
[02:32.79]They officially adore me and my father before me
[02:37.11]But gunpoint has a firm voice
[02:40.18]
[02:41.62]The joke is I'm not even a demagogue
[02:45.60]Have you heard me giving a speech?
[02:49.80]My facts are invented
[02:51.89]I sound quite demented
[02:53.96]So deluded it beggars belief
[02:58.01]It would be such a relief not to give another speech
[03:03.96]
[03:07.04]Can someone please say the impossible?
[03:11.13]Crowds should be out on the street
[03:15.37]I've lost any will to threaten or kill
[03:19.50]I'll be easy for you to defeat
[03:23.55]And any resistance I meet
[03:26.95]I'll beat a retreat
[03:29.14]
[03:32.54]I'd rather that you didn't shoot me
[03:36.63]But I'd quite understand if you did
[03:40.88]Watch out for the army
[03:43.05]The generals will go barmy
[03:45.16]At the thought of a takeover bid
[03:47.93]
[03:49.49]Oh please will somebody put me
[03:53.74]Out of my misery?
[03:57.69]This sad old dictator must sooner or later
[04:02.05]Flee so that you can be free
[04:05.16]
[04:05.76]If you get rid of me
[04:09.42]We can all be free
[04:12.13]
