lyrics

My assignment in Jamaica helped the world avoid a nuclear war
I stopped a rocket aimed at Oxford that was going to kill a million or more
I take my pleasure in winning every chance that I get
With a Tarot card of death because I deal it

And now I trust no one
I was betrayed by London

I stopped a cheater killing girls with paint that made it so they couldn’t breath
I shot a doctor and an zombie, then I burned their smack producing fields
I like to drink if things are shaken when I catch my breath
But I’m running all the time because I’m chasing death

And now I trust no one
I was betrayed by London

I vowed to fight for England
To defend her kingdom
But in her darkest hour
I find that I’m abandoned

But no one mourn my body
Or write an epic poem
Don’t engrave my tombstone
Because Your Majesty I’m home!
