Across from me sat the new emperor, Hardly 13 And I asked him why he cried No one stays around anymore, I cannot guess why In my world they should try I asked how loyal are your subjects "Not" was the child king's reply, "Rarely will they comply" "I always search for new subjects, Still I'm loathsome to try" "If they served me too long they would fortify" Chorus: "With all of my benevolence There's still no obedience Or is it just coincidence That everyone here's indifferent So I must move on" "So I fear a dependence" The Child King said "Between my subjects and I So if they leave me I won't die" "I always search for new subjects Still I'm loathsome to try In my world they should try" Chorus: "With all of my benevolence There's still no obedience Or is it just coincidence That everyone here's indifferent So I must move on"
