I think if I was ever king I would buy a censorship Where the only books upon the shelves Were the ones that I had written Oh, and put them up in borders, set my photo down the spine To tell the story of the livin' without forgettin' those who'd died And I would die a happy man 'Cause I did the best that I could do To find a better way of living, Should we leave that up to you? Who was it that first said it, the one who said it best? You got to L-O-V-E your neighbors, at least the ones who are still left And we gotta stand a little closer To the lessons that we've learned Is it just a premonition?

I think if I was ever publisher I'd buy a pirate ship Where the mission at each position is to shoot and to click Clean the photos up a little, censor the ship out of it So when we put it up in borders, turn a profit on the trip Charge the public for the overhead of 1492 And if they need a better reason tell them we got livin' proof And I would die a happy man 'Cause I did the best that I could do To find a better way of leaving, Should we leave that up to you Who was it that first said it? Yeah that's what I'm trying to say You got to L-O-V-E your neighbors, at least the ones that live today Hey, hey
