Das Musical Songtext / Lyric

Romeo Kings of the world running our lives Powerful husbands with ambitious wives
Ever-so-smug 'cause they make all the rules
They are not kings, just a bunch of old fools

Benvolio
Kings of the world planning ahead
They haven't noticed they're already dead
They eat the fat and they toss us the bones
Transparent kings sitting on paper thrones

Refrain

We know how to live, we squeeze the juice
From every moment, we make love
Day after day, night after night
We sing, we dance, it makes no sense
In being careful
Not when time flies like an arrow
We take every risk that's out there
We're prepared to take that chance
We are the....

Mercutio
Kings of the world, free as the wind
Looking for sins that we haven't yet sinned
They think they're smart, but they're really quite dumb
You miss the tune when you're banging your drum

Romeo and Benvolio
Kings of the world, they're just a joke
They are not kings, they're just misguided folk
Boring as hell and as dull as can be
One thing's for sure: they would love to be me

Refrain to fadeout


(Auf deutsch: Herrscher der Welt)
