A Despot sticks to his guns
Holding on tightly to all that he's won
Waving his iron fist
Espousing a freedom, the kind with a twist

It starts out all so easy
Raising taxes and a secret police
Surrounded closely by fifty sycophants
Nodding in agreement with every word of every rant

A Despot sticks to his guns
Holding on tightly to all that he's won
Waving his iron fist
Espousing a freedom, the kind with a twist

There comes a day of unrest
Met with the usual tightening of the noose
But something happens when a madman's gone too far
Comes a revolution that knocks him off his tarnished star

A Despot sticks to his guns
Even in hiding out on the run
Ranting shouting 'resist'
Seeking asylum, off in the mist
A despot sticks to his guns
