lyrics

The sun never sets on the empire that I defend
And your rules have no affect
The law's for everybody else
Because I'm above the rest
You know I dress to impress
If you take aim at my white suit there'll be red
I've got gadgets galore
A billion dollars and more
And the power to walk if you wind up dead

I have carte blanche to do whatever I want
I've got a license to kill
My badge and gun mean that you cannot stop me
And we both know that nobody will

I took an oath to serve, uphold and to protect
The world from those who oppose the authority I represent
I deserve your respect
You know I dress to distress
If you take aim at my blue suit
There'll be red
Call it willful neglect
But if you try to protest
Move when I say or you will wind up dead

I have carte blanche to do whatever I want
I've got a license to kill
My badge and gun mean that you cannot stop me
And we both know that nobody will

And everyone knows
That when the gun goes off
You tried to call my bluff
And everyone knows we've got it all
Though we still want more because
The world is not enough
The world is not enough
