The Dictator Decides Lyrics - Super - Pet Shop Boys

Will someone please say the unsayable? 

Will someone please tell me I'm wrong? 

I live every day like a sad beast of prey 

For I have to appear to be strong 

And that's wrong 

I'm too weak to be strong 

Today I met with the generals 

And the head of my secret police 

Discussing conspiracies and prison facilities 

For opponents I can never release 

And there'll be no peace 

Until they're released 

Of course I'm in league with the army 

It's not like I've got any choice 

They officially adore me and my father before me 

But gunpoint has a firm voice 

The joke is I'm not even a demagogue 

Have you heard me giving a speech? 

My facts are invented 

I sound quite demented 

So deluded it beggars belief 

It would be such a relief 

not to give another speech 

Can someone please say the impossible? 

Crowds should be out on the street 

I've lost any will to threaten or kill 

I'll be easy for you to defeat 

And any resistance I meet 

I'll beat a retreat 

I'd rather that you didn't shoot me 

But I'd quite understand if you did 

Watch out for the army 

The generals will go barmy 

At the thought of a takeover bid 

Oh please will somebody put me 

Out of my misery? 

This sad old dictator must sooner or later 

Flee so that you can be free 

If you get rid of me 

We can all be free
