There once was a King of Paris

There was an Emperor of Brazil

There may be a Loch Ness monster

There once was a Buffalo Bill



Now you can search the whole wide planet

Scratching in the mud and worms

But an honest politician

Is just a contradiction in terms!



CHORUS:

And if I had the keys to the kingdom

I'd hand them straight to you

Another time, another place

Another life, another way

Sometimes the last thing you wanna know

Is the truth ...



With your bishops, priests and mullahs

And all your mumbo-jumbo clans

When you're not accepting women

How can you love your fellow men

Now you can search the whole wide planet

Down to viruses and germs

A sensible religion

Is just a contradiction in terms!



Repeat CHORUS



Another love, another time

Another life, another place

Another small way to die

Sometimes the last thing you wanna know

Is the truth!
