lyrics

I just wanna fade away
into eternity
some people wants explosions and fire baby
but that ain't me

oh I'm gonna leave my mark
where none can see
but I'm not worried
because someday of they'll see

cause I don't want to be an emperor
I don't even want a crown
all the things that people fight about me nothing to me now
so take your power and your palaces
and shove em up your ass

maybe something's wrong with me
but the king's lifestyle just doesn't make sense to me
sit on a throne oppress and kill
just seems so childish to me

I don't want no tv's boats and automobiles
just a place to sleep and some food to steal
yeah I know it's weird but the concept here
is that I don't want to be an emperor
