*** Second song by my dictator persona Magnus Magnanimous, a pompous and bombastic dictator. Magnus is used as a satire to mock the growing number of dictators in the world, as well as all wannabe dictators of the world. Stand up against these people - always. Even if it is just by making funny songs that mock their actual silliness. *** [Intro – Overblown brass fanfare, crowd chanting] (Oooooooooh - Magnus! Magnus!) [Magnus (booming)]: Citizens… employees… unpaid volunteers… Today, we sing the truth — And by truth, I mean my truth! [Verse 1 – Marching beat, drums crisp] From every street that bears my name, To every statue just the same, The people cheer in perfect key, ”It helps that they’re all paid by me” [Chorus – Stadium stomp, mock grandeur] Hail to me! (Ooooooh!) Your chosen one! (Aaaaaaaah!) Elected once, but that’s enough, Sing the National Anthem of Me! [Verse 2 – Brass swells] The vote was free and ”I won by 200%!” The papers print my compliments, Our justice system’s clear to see: It’s only fair if it favours me. [Chorus – Louder, more ridiculous crowd chants] Hail to me! (Ooooooh!) Your chosen one! (Aaaaaaaah!) Elected once, but that’s enough, Sing the National Anthem of Me! [Bridge – Key change, confetti cannons] One party, one flag, one beautiful face… And if you’re wondering whose — Check the picture I handed you. [Final Chorus – Fireworks, drumline pounding] Hail to me! (Ooooooh!) Your chosen one! (Aaaaaaaah!) Elected once, but that’s enough, Sing the National Anthem of Me! [Outro – Brass blast, cymbal crash] …And remember — your happiness is my greatest achievement. [Instrumental fade out]
