We ought to be more careful with power
It should not be available for sale
It should not be kept in a high tower
With keys bestowed upon the first born male
From the hands of the vain and ambitious
It ought to be preserved at any cost
As for the paranoid and suspicious
Touched by power, such a mind quickly rots
Disqualify the stupid and insane
The venal and the vicious and depraved
When these are excluded, who will remain?
Perhaps the good, by whom things might be saved?
It could be that crowns make their wearers mad
Maybe, without kings, we would all be glad?
