12. THE SECRET KING OF PLANET EARTH

I.
He's the Secret King of Planet Earth,
And no one knows his name.
Descended from a secret clan
Of bankers with no shame.

His family has ruled the Earth
For several centuries,
And like his kin, he hides the truth
To operate with ease.

His power nearly absolute,
He works behind the scenes.
His cutouts, minions, fronts and fakes,
An evil group of fiends.

He's the Secret King of Planet Earth.
He's the Secret King of Planet Earth.

II.
His corporate network spans the globe,
His grasp of wealth complete.
All natural resources claimed,
He owns them nice and neat.

The law is always on his side,
It's rotten to the core.
To bribe a judge or congressman
Is cheaper than a whore.

All agencies of government,
All outlets of the press,
All genuflect before his might
And total ruthlessness.

He's the Secret King of Planet Earth.
He's the Secret King of Planet Earth.

III.
His Central Banks control the world,
They keep the public poor.
The countries with no Central Bank
Are targeted for war.

He owns the militaries of
Most major nation-states,
Because the politicians there
Are blank illiterates.

He finances both sides in war.
His weapons firms supply.
His construction firms rebuild.
Who cares how many die?

He's the Secret King of Planet Earth.
He's the Secret King of Planet Earth.

IV.
The Federal Reserve, in truth,
His private company
That has monopoly upon
Supply of all money.

Each dollar issued for a bond,
To Treasury it lends.
Because of all the interest owed,
A debt that never ends.

And when it's time settle up,
Guess who pays the bill?
The good 'ol U.S. taxpayer,
Whose wealth is dropped to nil.

He's the Secret King of Planet Earth.
He's the Secret King of Planet Earth.

V.
Now we're prisoners from debt,
He even owns you and me.
'Cause the best chains used to bind a slave
Are the ones he cannot see.

Jesus wasn't known to fight.
He raised his fist just once:
To throw the money changers out,
Those evil rotten cunts.

Now the word is getting out
And some folks know the score.
The internet may save the day,
Reveal the hidden lore…

Of the Secret King of Planet Earth.
The Red Shield King of Planet Earth.
