I fought for stars to be born
But they did nothing for me
I made a fortune from nothing
But now it is lost

I broke the back of a job
And now my work is done
As I stand back to admire it
I realize something's wrong

They beat him and they cut off his head
And put the film on the Internet
Millions of fools watched him die
I've lost my faith in this race

Because the poison pen is coming
And it is writing wicked words
The poison pen will end a nation
So much mightier than the sword
So much mightier than the sword
So much mightier than the sword
