Lyrics:
I’ll be the king of the wasteland
If I keep fighting the war
I’ll be the king of the wasteland
Yea if I can just keep on fighting
Keep on fighting
Keep on fighting…

I’ll be the lord of the nothing
When nothing’s left to be gained
I’ll be the lord of the nothing
If I can just be the last man standing
Last man standing
Last man standing….

What good is the money
Without a world to spend it in?

I’ll be a god in the rubble
When rubble’s all that remains
I’ll be a god in the rubble
I’ll speak the last words to ghosts and angels
Ghosts and angels
Ghosts and angels….

What good is the money
Without a world to spend it in?

I’ll be the king of the dust
I’ll be the king of the dust
I’ll be the king of the dust
I’ll be the king of the dust
I’ll be the king of the dust
I’ll be the king of the dust
I’ll be the king of the dust

We’re e on fire!
We’re e on fire!
We’re e on fire!
We’re e on fire!

What good is the money
Without a world to spend it in?
