Technically Not Tyranny (Broadway Soundtrack)
We cannot know
The how or the where
But because you're my heir
It'll soon be your turn
Your time to rule
Indefinitely
But to be a good king
I have a few things
You should learn
When you feel like you don't know where to go, don't despair
You'll find a claim somewhere
And should you need to hook a friend into your plot
That's technically not
Tyranny
There's the key
You have to maintain
Deniability
It's crazy
How the entire world de jure belongs to me
Some won't approve of you rewriting history, or
The conquests that you've led
If they strike first, it's not technically tyranny
When they wind up dead
La da da da da da
Da da da da da dee da
Da da da da dee da
Da da da
La da da da da da
Da da da da da dee da
Da da da da dee da
Da da da
Do what needs to be done
Dynasties must go on, but
Demand a plan you can commit to
Murder your only son
Or just frame him for one
And take some other kid!
Like how I ended up with
You know, the way you see me
It's like you see some tyrant king
But I'm the same dreadful king that you will be
And that's technically a different thing
Have some faith
Like the one I made
To subjugate all my foes
You can do that
Go all medieval on
The people you want
To see oppressed
It's Venice
I wonder who wins
When their virtues become your sins
Go ahead, take a guess
Now you could disagree with the things that I've said
You could be good instead
But I don't see why you'd want to deal with all that stress
La da da da da da
Da da da da da dee da
Da da da da dee da
Da da da
La da da da da da
Da da da da da dee da
Da da da da dee da
Da da da
La da da da da da
Da da da da da dee da
Da da da da dee da
