It really was not all that long ago
But a rodent's always looking for some cat he can stalk
So bow your head, don't meet his eyes
In the vast empire that he made
What he's ever done for you?
What he's ever done for you?
Someday he may find his throne is cold
To meow for him, to meow for him
But could you tell me
You reached out your hand and it was met
Let it be known he holds your fate
You can see in the end, it's just a little bit of talk
To meow for him, to meow for him
Tell him when he speaks the air is sweet
Pay him tribute every time
Royalty speaks, you then reply
But a rodent's always looking for some cat he can stalk
You let your heart will tell you so
Wherever he walks rose beds be laid
Support your local emperor
But could you tell me
I'm not the one that they'll likely forget
Someday he may find his throne is cold
From his fingertips shall flow all the wine
Remember once when you were young
And with the ears of the bat and the eyes of a hawk
From his fingertips shall flow the wine
I'm not the one that needed an army
Wherever he walks rose beds be laid
Let it be known he holds your fate
I'm not the one that hopes they'll remember
I'm not the one that hopes they'll remember
So that he may always feel secure
I'm not the one that needed respect
I'm not the one that they'll likely forget
It seems no one's gonna walk where he's willing to walk
It seems no one's gonna walk where he's willing to walk
I'm not the one that needed an army
Tell him when he speaks the air is sweet
Someday he may chance to wonder why
I'm not the one that needed respect
You can see that in the end, it's just a little bit of talk
And with the ears of the bat and the eyes of a hawk
