Napoleon
Alexander set the table
Caesar set the course
Sun Tzu gave instruction
In the artful use of force
They all had distractions
Thus I will prevail
Like Napoleon
On a grander scale
Lay siege upon the city
Hell, I want your heart
No guards on any watchtowers
Can keep our souls apart
You fear I'll burn the world
But I simply cannot fail
Like Napoleon
On a grander scale
Wellington is out there
Waterloo awaits
Stormy seas can sink your ships
There are enemies at the gates
These are workable analogies
In all but one detail
Like Napoleon
But on a grander scale
L'Arc de Triomphe is for pikers
When you analyze the cost
Invasion 'cross the Russian steppes
No fear of winter frost
The pyramids of Egypt
Are mere trinkets in this tale
Of Napoleon
On a grander scale
And how small
The conquering of worlds
Compared to win a woman's heart
His last word was "Josephine"
Hers was, "Bonaparte"
The sound and the fury
Of love to no avail
Like Napoleon
On a grander scale
The sound and the fury
Of love to no avail
Unless we're like Napoleon
And Josephine
On a grander scale
Caesar set the course
Sun Tzu gave instruction
In the artful use of force
They all had distractions
Thus I will prevail
Like Napoleon
On a grander scale
Lay siege upon the city
Hell, I want your heart
No guards on any watchtowers
Can keep our souls apart
You fear I'll burn the world
But I simply cannot fail
Like Napoleon
On a grander scale
Wellington is out there
Waterloo awaits
Stormy seas can sink your ships
There are enemies at the gates
These are workable analogies
In all but one detail
Like Napoleon
But on a grander scale
L'Arc de Triomphe is for pikers
When you analyze the cost
Invasion 'cross the Russian steppes
No fear of winter frost
The pyramids of Egypt
Are mere trinkets in this tale
Of Napoleon
On a grander scale
And how small
The conquering of worlds
Compared to win a woman's heart
His last word was "Josephine"
Hers was, "Bonaparte"
The sound and the fury
Of love to no avail
Like Napoleon
On a grander scale
The sound and the fury
Of love to no avail
Unless we're like Napoleon
And Josephine
On a grander scale
