  • I'm at the gates, I'm climbing over the wall

    To trepan the Queen
    and burn the dogs in the hall

    A trail of destruction, but at least it's a trail

    I am compelled to take you by the throat
    They sing in my ears and make me feel like I'm loved

    I don't want this, I never spoke up enough
    Think of the people that I'm doing it for

    I know the ways that I have been a slave
    I've done the things that I was here to do

    My twin, my twin, my dragon twin goes hard

    So ring the alarm, I'm in the palace garage
    Fortune 500 like the back of my hand

    I know I'm only living half of a life
    They said that I should do this for my sons

    So is this the lot or should I take out the king

    The queen of my island, just an animal thing

    Limp as a doily flapping blood in the wings

    They speak in ways I do not understand

    They know I've come to isolate the mouths

    I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
    I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
    I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
    I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
    I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
    I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
    I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
    I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
    I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
    I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
    I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
    I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
    I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
    I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
    I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
    I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won

    Fortune 500 like the back of my hand
    Fortune 500 like whatever you ask

    I know the ways that I have been a slave
    (I know the ways that I have been a slave)
    I've done the things that I was here to do
    (I've done the things that I was here to do)
    I am compelled to take you by the throat
    (I am compelled to take you by the throat)
    They speak in ways I do not understand
    (They speak in ways I do not understand)

    I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
    (I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won) Writer/s: Alexander Kaines Robertshaw, Jeremy Joseph Pritchard, Jonathan Joseph Higgs, Michael David Spearman
