When I Ruled The World

[Verse] I was the ruler of this world For more than one day I was the ruler of this world Until they made me pay I was chosen by the gods Or that's what people would say I faced all the odds Until my life became gray [Pre-Chorus] I controlled everything Through the wars I controlled everything And I leveled the scores I was the leader Until they took it all away (away, away, away) [Chorus] I ruled the world I was the king I ruled the world I controlled everything [Breakdown] I was the ruler of everyone I was the ruler until I was done But that was long ago That was when I ruled the world (The world) [Verse] I helped everybody live better I cleaned up everyone who was a debtor I made life easy in a good way I made everybody able to enjoy their day But I was disposed of by the evil Those who tried to lead an upheaval I soon fell and I lost my power I lost everything within an hour [Pre-Chorus] I controlled everything Through the wars I controlled everything And I leveled the scores I was the leader Until they took it all away (away, away, away) [Chorus] I ruled the world I was the king I ruled the world I controlled everything [Per-Chorus] I controlled everything Through the wars I controlled everything And I leveled the scores I was the leader Until they took it all away (away, away, away) I was the leader Until they took it all away (away, away, away) [Chorus] I ruled the world I was the king I ruled the world I controlled everything [Outro] I was the ruler of everyone I was the ruler until I was done But that was long ago That was when I ruled the world (The world) [End]
