Lyrics for I Want To Conquer The World as interpreted by oofus

I Want To Conquer The World Lyrics
Hey Brother Christian with your high and might errand,
Your actions speak so loud, I can't hear a word you're saying.
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 measure,
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 in all 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 the children cry when you left them at the station?
Hey moral soldier you've got righteous proclamation,
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 them to the children,
I'll do away with air pollution and then all save the whales,
We'll have peace on earth and global communion.
I want to conquer the world! (x4)

As others have said, thought-provoking lyrics. Also, makes me want to get up and DO something about all the problems, since the simple solutions sometimes are lost in red tape, I think..

This song is the song that really got me into punk music, it is referring to the spanish and european influence on modern society through the "brainwashing" of past societies into catholicism.

the glowing? has bad religion ever said that that is what this song is about?

So intelligent, so clear, so ass-kicking... and so revealing. If I had money, I'd bet that this song will be the anthem of the next Joseph Stalin.

In re ThE GlOWiNg?: If this is about the effect on society through Catholicism, what's the explanation for "sister bleeding heart"?

i think its bout all the ppl who we look up to. the scientists, the righteous soldier fighting for our freedom, the religious leaders and the idols they teach about. we praise them all for their acts and deeds but wut do they giv us in the long run? how long will take for all the things they're giving us to run out?

Bad Religion are the true messiahs of this world.
They are the real moses, or the real Jesus if you like.
This song like their other ones is awesome perfectly relevant when written and perfectly relevant now, true political intelligence.
If you like this band, check out my badn Erasa, lyrics on this site, they are Bad Religion and Pennywise influenced, however wouldnt be as good as those bands.
Check em out if you like em and you arent from Australia i will give you deatails where to get copies of the songs, and how, if you are aussie email me at whenwasyesterday@hotmail.com

Yeah this song is meant to be taken with a pinch of salt. But a lot of the things in it are true, talking about the people supposedly above us and what they really are doing in the long run. Great song.

I think this song is written from an idealistic point of view, like, he really does wish he could do these things, but there is frusturation in his voice because he knows that he can't. He wishes he could just conquer the world and fix everything, but of course, he can't.
