Homeless Emperor
At the peremptory request of a large majority
Of the citizens of these United States
I, Joshua Norton, formerly of Algoa Bay
And now for the past nine years of San Francisco, California
I declare and proclaim myself Emperor of these US of A
Joshua Norton, Emperor of the US of A
In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king
Emperor without enemies
King without kingdom
Supported in life by the willing free people
All bow down to the patron saint of the 21st century
The Homeless emperor of the US of A
Joshua Norton, Emperor of the US of A
In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king
Joshua Norton, Emperor of the US of A
In the land of the blind the one eyed man is invisible
Invisible
Zeitgeist tale for the meta modern world
Emperor without enemies
King without kingdom
Supported in life
By the willingness of people
Joshua Norton the Emperor of the US of A
In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king
Emperor without enemies
King without kingdom
Supported in life
By the willing free people
Of the citizens of these United States
I, Joshua Norton, formerly of Algoa Bay
And now for the past nine years of San Francisco, California
I declare and proclaim myself Emperor of these US of A
Joshua Norton, Emperor of the US of A
In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king
Emperor without enemies
King without kingdom
Supported in life by the willing free people
All bow down to the patron saint of the 21st century
The Homeless emperor of the US of A
Joshua Norton, Emperor of the US of A
In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king
Joshua Norton, Emperor of the US of A
In the land of the blind the one eyed man is invisible
Invisible
Zeitgeist tale for the meta modern world
Emperor without enemies
King without kingdom
Supported in life
By the willingness of people
Joshua Norton the Emperor of the US of A
In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king
Emperor without enemies
King without kingdom
Supported in life
By the willing free people
