The Stupendium - Fiend Like Me lyrics

[The Stupendium - Fiend Like Me lyrics]
Peruse any news publication
See the state of the states and nations
Corporations, inflation, invasions
Well, I say that they could take some
Intercontinental consolidation
One flag emblazoned with my face on
And I don't plan on an application
Just your standard reclusive trillionaire
With a maniacal air and a violent flare
Vibrant tyrant enshrined in a stylish chair
You can find me there on my island lair
Where the sirens blare as I
Stride in striking fear
With the slightest glare
I'm not fighting fair
Step aside for thе frightful heir
So you'd better gеt to
Polishing your white flags
I've a plethora of monuments to hijack
Shrink the Senate
Use the columns as a spice rack
And enveloping the Commons in a Flytrap
Minions all over my map
Turn your dominion into a nice back
Yard for my kingdom, your income might lapse
Might have to squint at the price
On the ransom price tag
You know, i've just realized that this
Dotted line around the
Globe is supposed to be the Equator
I always thought of it more as a 'cut here'
If all the world's a stage
Then I shall play my part
You may say it's cliché
But I say that it's an art
Every deck needs a knave to
Come and stack the cards
The world may be yours to save
But it's mine to tear apart
One button's all it takes to
Set the Earth a-quaking
Or is the world afraid
And the planet started shaking?
You'd need tectonic plates to serve
The schemes I'm baking
And the menu for today
Is some world domination
I'm the meanest genius scheme unfurler
Genus steeped in burglars, murderers
Fiend Weekly's champ moustache twirler
I cheated, I used curlers
Yes, my amusements bamboozle
A glamorous ruse to confuse all
Your plans to tamper and snoop
You're delusional can't see no scheme
While you're schmoozing my valets
Casino screen obscures my base
So if you don't want a day to rue, let's
Just play the roulette, forget the backstage
But if you do sleuth through to my sanctum
I've a few new tools here to have fun
Like a tank full of man-eating plankton
Or a smooth henchman with a handgun
So whilst I'm busy dislodging Norway
You'll spend all day dodging my saw blades
Raising my pinball scoresheet
Freak in the broadsheets
Rube Goldberg in the hallways
Stay between the laser beams
You still won't make it face to face with me
Your agency just paid you to take a vacation
In my interrogation seat
One wrong step in my bullion vaults
And you're gonna be met with a billion volts
But if you do pocket any ill-gotten profit's
Then I'll dock it via rocket
From the minion at fault
My management skills are uniquely stirring
When lacking in diligent measly servants
Having one killed with the team observing
Works magic on building
The weak's subservience
See, I think I'd make a
Perfect leader i'm very hands-on
And by that I mean my hand's
On this big red button
That may or may not do something
Terrible to the Moon's gravity
Don't worry
I'll write you a lovely orbit-uary
If all the world's a stage
Then I shall play my part
You may say it's cliché
But I say that it's an art
Every deck needs a knave to
Come and stack the cards
The world may be yours to save
But it's mine to tear apart
One button's all it takes to
Set the Earth a-quaking
Or is the world afraid
And the planet started shaking?
You'd need tectonic plates to serve
The schemes I'm baking
And the menu for today
Is some world domination
If all the world's a stage
Then I shall play my part
You may say it's cliché
But I say that it's an art
Every deck needs a knave to
Come and stack the cards
The world may be yours to save
But it's mine to tear apart
You secretly live below my
Laser-mounted space station
You may need to think it over
But if I get bored of waiting
I'll be beaming tic tac-toe between
The borders of your nations
Want to keep the Swiss Plateau?
Then give me world domination
I've minions poised and entrapped informers
Villains exploiting the map's four corners
Off to deploy my outlandish orders
Warrants are void, international waters
If I steal her bling, do I have to wait
For the Queen of England to abdicate?
Shrink rays are aimed so why raze the place?
Turn your famed locations to paperweights
Now your monument's stored in
A portable size does my offer seem more
Of an affordable price?
Your democracy's nice
But you ought to comply
Or I'll alter your mind via the water supply
"Reports coming live of a sort of device
That authorities describe as an
Orb in the sky"
It's absorbing the light and
Distorting the ice
Till your tenth-story penthouse is
Caught in the tide
Forces of justice ought to give up
'Fore I bore through the crust
And get awfully destructive
Force down your government's doors
Then I'll bust in
Awesomely scored by a chorus of trumpets
Rulers you foolishly trust to
Prevent my ascent
Just uselessly buckle and bend
If your throne ever feels too comfortable
Then
Remember, all good things come to an end
If all the world's a stage
Then I shall play my part
You may say it's cliché
But I say that it's an art
Every deck needs a knave to
Come and stack the cards
The world may be yours to save
But it's mine to tear apart
One button's all it takes to
Set the Earth a-quaking
Or is the world afraid
And the planet started shaking?
You'd need tectonic plates to serve
The schemes I'm baking
And the menu for today
Is some world domination
If all the world's a stage
Then I shall play my part
You may say it's cliché
But I say that it's an art
Every deck needs a knave to
Come and stack the cards
The world may be yours to save
But it's mine to tear apart
That stylish new telephone
Home appliance sensation
Rewrites your genetic code every time
The tone is playing so I'm sure to get your
Vote for my new administration
Detonator's set to blow for
Some world domination
It's too late to stop me
By now the laser dolphins are in
Position and all the world
Leaders at the Beachside Peace Summit
And Barbecue has been incinerated
I'll be sure to notify their next of fin
(Laughing) Oh, that was good
Somebody write that down
