The common people say of me
I hate both freedom, and the free
And I don't disagree, but I retort

That what good will your freedom do
When men of violence come for you
To make your life nasty...
To make your life brutish...
...and shoooooort

Without a ruler, men do ill
The forger forges, killers kill
The rapist rapes, the robber always robbbbbbbs

So call me a toady, call me a shill
Call me whatever name you will
The name I call myself is Thomas Hobbbbbbbes

And I say - screw balances and checks
Take good ole' dei gratia rex
On Earth, as Heaven, monarchy's the thing!

Forget about the rights of man
Let's hear it for Leviathan
Let's hear it for Leviathan the king!

Sure liberals will hatecha
But it beats the state of nature
So let's hear it for Leviathan the king!
