The Happy Dictator (feat. Sparks)

I am the one to give you life again

I am the one to save your soul, amen

As the shadows they are forming come and join me, center stage

(Oh, what a happy land we live in)

If you're empty and abstracted and your broken heart is full of rage

(Oh, what a happy land, oh, yeah)

In a world of fiction, I am a velvet glove

(Oh, what a happy land we live in)

I am your soul, your resurrection, I am the love

(Oh, what a happy land, oh, yeah)

(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

So look out to the west now, see where the devil lies

(Oh, what a happy land we live in)

Its pharmakon is with you and your empire, it is paralysed

(Oh, what a happy land, oh, yeah)

I'll propagate eternity and seal it with my kiss

(Oh, what a happy land we live in)

So look into the coffin and let me grant your wish

(Oh, what a happy land, oh, yeah)

No more bad news

So you can sleep well at night

And the palace of your mind will be bright

(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

Everything is slowing down yet everything is faster

(Oh, what a happy land we live in)

While everyone is consuming, I'll save you from yourself

(Oh, what a happy land, oh, yeah)

Upon this world of fiction my love, I will bestow

(Oh, what a happy land we live in)

And as we march into the future

Happiness will grow

(Oh, what a happy land, oh, yeah)

No more bad news

So you can sleep well at night

And the palace of your mind will be bright

Everything is slowing down yet faster

Consuming us, I'll save you from yourself

My love bestowed upon this world of fiction

March to the future, happiness grows

Are you not better off than ever?

Are you not better off right now?

When have you felt this way, I ask you

When have you felt better off than right now

I am the one to give you life again

I am the one to save your soul, amen

No more bad news

(Mountains and rainbows, palaces of love)

So you can sleep well at night

And the palace of your mind will be bright

So you can sleep well at night

And the palace of your mind will be bright
