I Don't Want to Be King
I don't want to be king
I don't want treasure, no matter what wealth it will bring
Spare me your power and glory
Don't write me into your stories
I don't want to be king
I don't want to be queen
Don't want to watch over mountains and forests and seas
Spare me your castles and conquests
It's not worth my time, and I do need my rest
I don't want to be queen
Think of the hours I'd spend in my tower alone
Maybe it's not all that different from my life at home
I don't want to be ruled
You're in charge but I'm living large, who's the fool
Don't tell me how you made it to the top
You ran on an empire and paid off the cops
I don't want to rule
Send me to outer space, I'll find my place on the moon
Lonely and desolate, not too far off from my room
I just want to be free
The singers, the dancers, the painters, why can't that be me?
Sing me a chorus to let myself go
Go to the places the canvas will show
I just want to be free
I don't want treasure, no matter what wealth it will bring
Spare me your power and glory
Don't write me into your stories
I don't want to be king
I don't want to be queen
Don't want to watch over mountains and forests and seas
Spare me your castles and conquests
It's not worth my time, and I do need my rest
I don't want to be queen
Think of the hours I'd spend in my tower alone
Maybe it's not all that different from my life at home
I don't want to be ruled
You're in charge but I'm living large, who's the fool
Don't tell me how you made it to the top
You ran on an empire and paid off the cops
I don't want to rule
Send me to outer space, I'll find my place on the moon
Lonely and desolate, not too far off from my room
I just want to be free
The singers, the dancers, the painters, why can't that be me?
Sing me a chorus to let myself go
Go to the places the canvas will show
I just want to be free
