Oh, oh oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh
Oh oh-oh oh, whoa oh-oh, oh-oh oh
Oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh oh

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise, when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets that I used to own

Oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh oh,
Oh oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh
Oh-oh oh, oh oh oh oh

I used to roll the dice, feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
'Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!'
One minute I held the key, next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my Chris and I'll be your Gwyneth
My missionaries hiding in foreign trenches

For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an h-h-h-h-honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

Oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh oh
Oh oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh
Oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh oh

It was the wicked and a wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I've become

Revolutionaries wait
For my blonde head on a silver plate
Just a Gaga on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be queen

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my Chris and I'll be your Gwyneth
My missionaries hiding in foreign trenches

For some reason that I can't explain
I know Yves Saint Laraunt, no, he won't call my name
Never an h-h-h-h-honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

'Now I'm doing my very best not to mess up all the words'
'But, a strong apology to Coldplay'
'But I think otherwise it's a good job'

Oh, oh oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh oh
Oh oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh, oh-oh oh
Oh oh-oh oh

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my Chris and I'll be your Gwyneth
The Fame won't change us if we don't let it

For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Mary won't call my name
Never an h-honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Ruled the world, ru-u-u-uled the world
