Hello Putin, my old friend
I’m here alone with you again
Ukraine is hoping we’ll talk of peace
We only want to make our spoils increase
Let Ukrainians see the writing on the wall:
We’ll take it all
Within no bounds of mercy

Netanyahu, love you too
Corrupt as me and just as shrewd
Eye for eye is simply not enough
You’ll kill them all and clean the whole place up
What oppressor has a better card to hold?
So be bold
You have no bounds of mercy

At my swearing in, I saw
Ten million people, maybe more
People dealing and bargaining
People grifting and hustling
People giving bucks in order to buy power:
My finest hour
Within no bounds of mercy

Fools, said I, the coup is on
With your blessing, going strong
Hear my words and accept my lies
Never question – only justify
And those who dare disagree with what they hear,
will disappear
Beyond the bounds of mercy

And the people bowed and prayed
to the golden god I made
They are begging for plutocracy
to replace their dumb democracy
Now, mine is the power and the glory forevermore
from shore to shore
I have no bounds of mercy
