I met a man who said he’d change a nation

He knew his mind. He had very strong opinions

He had a view that we were all his minions

He pitched us lies to rationalise his position in our minds

He played his hand the way that no one else did

It opened doors and so he pushed it to the limits

He soon forgot the very reasons why he started

He found the time to push the line to take control

Save me from the man who saved the world

He’s not a man of his word

If he weren’t so real he would be absurd

Save me from the man who saved the world

Take me to a gentler place, a better universe. 

He changed the nature of the people all around him

Their lust for power infected everybody’s game play

Truth or lies began to look and smell the same way

He used the fear to get us here. You can see the mess. 

Save me from the man who saved the world

He’s not a man of his word

If he weren’t so real he would be absurd

Save me from the man who saved the world

Take me to a gentler place, a better universe.
