I Was Only Seventeen

[groove]

I was going to set the world aflame
Light the sky
Make my name public
Leave awe and fear
In the eyes of all who crossed my wake
I was told I could do it
But I was only seventeen

I was going to amass power unknown
Dominate
Rule the world totally
Make the world kneel
And supplicate themselves before me
I was told I could do it
But I was only seventeen

I was going to be the richest man
Burn money
Lend it to the banks
No poverty
As I provide a job for all who want
I was told I could do it
But I was only seventeen

I was going to save the world again
Kill and Death
Fight a war for them
Protect them all
And give them the rights they didn't have
I was told I must do it
But I was only seventeen
