Bad Religion
I Want To Conquer The World
No Control (1989)

C♯m   B A   /E C♯m   B A  /E B  x 2  w/ solo

Hey Brother Christian with your high and mighty 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

C♯m   B A   /E C♯m   B A  /E B  w/ solo

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?

A  B B♯

      C♯m  B       A           E
  And I    want to conquer the world
  C♯m          B        A         B
  Give all the idiots a brand new religion
  C♯m           B          A               E
  Put an end to poverty, uncleanliness and toll
  C♯m      B          A
  Promote equality in all of my decisions

           G♯
    With a quick wink of the eye and a "god you must be joking"

C♯m   B A   /E C♯m   B A  /E B x 2  w/ solo

Hey Mister 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

A  B B♯

  Refrain

  And I want to conquer the world
  Expose the culprits and feed them 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  x 4

C♯m  (long, ... reste)

C♯m!
