"A Souvenir (Also Sprach Schmilsson Schmixon)" lyrics
I'm not here to be crowned King. I'm no longer one of you. It would be impossible for me to discharge my duties as overlord
The easiest course would be for me to blame those to whom I delegated the responsibility, but that would be a cowardly thing to do
Fates are a little different now. Well, I've come here to tell you that it's with deep regret that I renounce the throne
In any organisation, the man at the top must bear the responsibility. That responsibility therefore belongs here; I accept it
Not for myself but for you, who have waited so long. I leave altogether my ties to your world
God bless America, and God bless each and every one of you
The easiest course would be for me to blame those to whom I delegated the responsibility, but that would be a cowardly thing to do
Fates are a little different now. Well, I've come here to tell you that it's with deep regret that I renounce the throne
In any organisation, the man at the top must bear the responsibility. That responsibility therefore belongs here; I accept it
Not for myself but for you, who have waited so long. I leave altogether my ties to your world
God bless America, and God bless each and every one of you
