Your power comes from a preconceived idea
From the biological need to stay alive and be loved
But not everyone buys into your authoritarian rule
It just shows you know they could overthrow you 
 
Even you hear the seconds ticking away
This is all just build up ’til you’re face down in your grave
The ones that you think are your closest friends
Will be the ones making sure you meet your end 
 
It’s awful the way you run over people by using their fears
It’s disgusting the power you have to cause so many tears
But hey who cares karma repays all

One day you’ll find out when the life you’ve built falls 

It’s terrible the cuts and bruises you cause on the inside and out
It’s obnoxious the way you always fill people with doubt
But hey who cares karma repays all
One day you’ll find out when the life you’ve built falls
 
Just remember no dictator has lasted forever
And kingdoms fall at the citizens’ pleasure
 
You’re one step ahead but always two steps behind
Eventually the paranoia will set into your mind
You’ll fester and dream and try to hide what you think
But before you know it your reign will be at the brink 
 
Even you hear the seconds ticking away
This is all just build up ’til you’re face down in your grave
The ones that you think are your closest friends
Will be the ones making sure you meet your end 
 
It’s awful the way you run over people by using their fears
It’s disgusting the power you have to cause so many tears
But hey who cares karma repays all

One day you’ll find out when the life you’ve built falls 

It’s terrible the cuts and bruises you cause on the inside and out
It’s obnoxious the way you always fill people with doubt
But hey who cares karma repays all
One day you’ll find out when the life you’ve built falls
 
Just remember no dictator has lasted forever
And kingdoms fall at the citizens’ pleasure 
 
Karma doesn’t care what you look like
It doesn’t care if you thought something different
It could care less what you think about it
Once you think it’s gone away it strikes again
Just remember no dictator has lasted forever
And kingdoms fall at the citizens’ pleasure
No power is without its own limitations
One day a star the next day radiation  
 
It’s awful the way you run over people by using their fears
It’s disgusting the power you have to cause so many tears
But hey who cares karma repays all

One day you’ll find out when the life you’ve built falls 

It’s terrible the cuts and bruises you cause on the inside and out
It’s obnoxious the way you always fill people with doubt
But hey who cares karma repays all
One day you’ll find out when the life you’ve built falls  
 
Just remember no dictator has lasted forever
And kingdoms fall at the citizens’ pleasure
