Benjibopper

some out there wanna be king
rule over all that they see
subdue the natives and naives
control the world directly

me I’m more subtle than that
and I know where true power lies
it’s in the deceit of my brothers
and the implantation of spies

to say that knowledge is power
is so oft-said it’s cliché
but as years compound my hours
I take more care what I say

In this moment of weakness
I’ll toss a coin to you takers
The king is my pawn
Just call me kingmaker
