I'm a dictator of the old school
I love my power and I love to rule
Just like my father I play the game
Of sheer oppression and rising my fame
Lately protesters
Brought riots to my streets
Demanding free elections
For rights and truth a warranty
Traitors! Deserters!
Who do they think they are?
I'll send them army forces
Because I am the only law!
The only law!
The law!
The only law!
God bless my glorious nation
(Glorious nation)
God bless especially me
So what? So what?
I'm addicted to dictate
Reforms you will never see
(You will never see)
Rapid Fire!
Shoot the liars!
Rapid Fire!
Send them to hell!
Rapid Fire!
Tanks and snipers!
Rapid Fire!
Rapid Fire! Shoot the liars!
Torture? And prison?
All propaganda lies!
To harm my reputation
In overseas I have my spies
UNO embargo?
I piss on politics!
I piss on all those sanctions
They'll get to know my dirty tricks!
My dirty tricks!
My tricks!
My dirty tricks!
God bless my glorious nation
(Glorious nation)
God bless especially me
So what? So what?
I'm addicted to dictate
Reforms you will never see
(You will never see)
Rapid Fire!
Shoot the liars!
Rapid Fire!
Send them to hell!
Rapid Fire!
Tanks and snipers!
Rapid Fire!
Rapid Fire! Shoot the liars!
I'm a dictator of the old school
I love my power and I love to rule
Just like my father I play the game
Of sheer oppression and rising my fame
God bless my glorious nation
(Glorious nation)
God bless especially me
So what? So what?
I'm addicted to dictate
Reforms you will never see
(You will never see)
Rapid Fire!
Shoot the liars!
Rapid Fire!
Send them to hell!
Rapid Fire!
Tanks and snipers!
Rapid Fire!
Rapid Fire! Shoot the liars!
Rapid Fire!
Shoot the liars!
Rapid Fire!
Send them to hell!
Rapid Fire!
Tanks and snipers!
Rapid Fire!
Rapid Fire! Shoot the liars!
Shoot the liars!
