Generate meaning
1
Will someone please say the unsayable?
2
Will someone please tell me I'm wrong?
3
I live every day like a sad beast of prey
4
For I have to appear to be strong
5
And that's wrong
6
I'm too weak to be strong
7
Today I met with the generals
8
And the head of my secret police
9
Discussing conspiracies and prison facilities
10
For opponents I can never release
11
And there'll be no peace
12
Until they're released
13
Of course I'm in league with the army
14
It's not like I've got any choice
15
They officially adore me and my father before me
16
But gunpoint has a firm voice
17
The joke is I'm not even a demagogue
18
Have you heard me giving a speech?
19
My facts are invented
20
I sound quite demented
21
So deluded it beggars belief
22
It would be such a relief not to give another speech
23
Can someone please say the impossible?
24
Crowds should be out on the street
25
I've lost any will to threaten or kill
26
I'll be easy for you to defeat
27
And any resistance I meet
28
I'll beat a retreat
29
I'd rather that you didn't shoot me
30
But I'd quite understand if you did
31
Watch out for the army
32
The generals will go barmy
33
At the thought of a takeover bid
34
Oh please will somebody put me
35
Out of my misery?
36
This sad old dictator must sooner or later
37
Flee so that you can be free
38
If you get rid of me
39
We can all be free
