Lyrics by chris cornell
music by hiro yamamoto
I want to be
a cowboy star upon the screen
oh hey and i want to drive
my cowboy car across the scene
oh hey and i want to write
the magazines the housewives read
and i want to be
in control of everything
i want to be king

i want to make the toys
you buy for christmas eve
yeah and i want to be
the father of the ethnic child
who stars on t.v.
oh yeah and i, i want to write
the magazine the housewives read
oh hey and i want all the leaders
of the third world
to answer to me
i want to be king
i want to be king
so maybe now the pope
will bow and kiss my ring
i wanna be king
