Lyrics
I am a proud man, proud of what I've done
I'll tell you my achievements
I can list them, list them, one by one
If you want to listen, and even if you don't
I'm the greatest statesman
And forgive me if I gloat
(chorus)
If you've got what I want
I'll take it away from you
I have power, I have wealth
And you know
There's nothing (nothing) you can do
You don't understand how if feels to be me
I'm unique, and I'm preordained
The champion of the free (yes, the free)
I fight every day just for you
I protect and defend
Your liberty (liberty)
(bridge)
There's only so many strong men
In them I sometimes confide
I bring them close, until their guard is down
And then I take what I want
What is really mine
(chorus)
If you've got what I want
I'll take it away from you
I have power, I have wealth
And you know
There's nothing (nothing) you can do
When the time comes, if it ever does
For me to be remembered
My name will be written large in the stars
As the beacon of light, the maker of truth
In the land of the free
But I did it all (did it all)
For me
For me
Yes, all of it was
For me
