One of a fairly large number of things that Chief Gryphon and Avatar Korra have in common: in their position, there are days - probably quite a number of days - when this is really the only song that will do, turned up as far as it will go in the privacy of your office.


Hey brother Christian with your high and mighty errand
Your actions speak so loud I can't hear a word you're sayin'
Hey sister bleeding heart with all of your compassion
Your labors soothe the hurt but can't assuage temptation

Hey man of science with your perfect rules of pleasure
Can you improve this place with the data that you gather?
Hey Mother Mercy can your loins bear fruit forever?
Is your fecundity a trammel or a treasure?

And I want to conquer the world
Give all the idiots a brand new religion
Put an end to poverty, uncleanliness, and toil
Promote equality with all of my decisions
With a quick wink of the eye
And a "God, you must be joking"

Hey Mr. Diplomat with your worldly aspirations
Did you see your children cry when you left them at the station?
Hey moral soldier you've got righteous proclamations
And precious tomes to fuel your pulpy conflagrations

And I want to conquer the world
Give all the idiots a brand new religion
Put an end to poverty, uncleanliness, and toil
Promote equality in all of my decisions
I want to conquer the world
Expose the culprits and feed 'em to the children
Do away with air pollution and then I'll save the whales
We'll have peace on Earth and global communion
I want to conquer the world
I want to conquer the world
I want to conquer the world
I want to conquer the world
