I Almost Ruled The World

Viva La Vida

I almost ruled the world

People kneeled when I gave the word

Now in the Tower with my face smashed in

By a guy with poor anger management

I used to hypnotize

Give my new SHIELD slaves blue eyes

Listen as Asgardians sing,

"Now the Jötun is gone, long live Odin!"

One minute I held my staff

Next my whole world went to crap

And I realized that my army's gone

Before the invasion had even begun

I hear people in the streets a-crying'

Chitauri warriors a-dying'

I use magic, no swords or shields

Except for that giant glow stick I wield

For some reason Thor can't explain

All my life I have never spoken an honest word

Oh, how I almost ruled the world

It was a wicked desire for power,

Stuck with me 'till my final hour

Shattered windows and Tony's drink

When he offered, I didn't know what to think

Disillusioned agents wait

For my crown in a silver plate

Mind control is a fickle thing,

Oh, shouldn't I have been Asgard's king?

I hear people in the streets a-crying'

Chitauri warriors a-dying'

I use magic, no swords or shields

Except for that giant glow stick I wield

For some reason Thor can't explain

I know Valhalla won't call my name, never an honest word

Oh, how I almost ruled the world

Oh-ooh-whoa-oh-ohhhh-oh

Thor-ooh-whoa-oh-ohhh-or

Oh-ooh-whoa-oh-ohhhh-oh

Thor-ooh-whoa-oh-ohhh-or

Oh-ooh-whoa-oh-ohhhh-oh

I hear people in the streets a-crying'

Chitauri warriors a-dying'

I use magic, no swords or shields

Except for that giant glow stick I wield

For some reason Thor can't explain

I know Valhalla won't call my name, never an honest word

Oh, how I almost ruled the world
