Viva La Cheata lyrics copyright 2009 John L. Jerz, there is no similarity whatsoever to anything
written by Coldplay
I used to write new songs
Crowds would rise when I sang the words
Now empty concerts I sing
alone
My career I think I've blown
I used to roll the dice
stealing someone's songs ain't nice
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Sat-ri-an-i!
Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the courts have closed on me
And I discovered that my
chan-ces stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Sa-tri-an-i song a playing
'No one will notice', the guys are saying
This year's Grammy
is ours, it's sealed
Joe might sue us, but we won't yield
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that
was when I wrote new songs
When I stole it I think I grinned
"If I Could Fly" is good as sin
Why compose when you can
steal from bums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Peo-ple-say-we-stole it wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh
who would ever care about the thing?
I hear Sa-tri-an-i song a playing
'No one will notice', the guys are saying
This year's Grammy
is ours, it's sealed
Joe might sue us, but we won't yield
For some reason I can't explain
I know old Joe won't say it's same
Never an honest word
But
that was when I ruled the world
I hear Sa-tri-an-i song a playing
'No one will notice', the guys are saying
This year's Grammy
is ours, it's sealed
Joe might sue us, but we won't yield
For some reason I can't explain
I know old Joe won't say it's same
Never an honest word
But
that was when I ruled the world
