lyrics

Boss Universal

I am the Boss Universal. Hear me now!

I rule this land with an iron fist.
You may kick and yell and scream.
Though you try to resist, you can’t stop me
It’s like you’re trapped in a bad dream.
I’ll make you do what you don’t want to.
You’ll do it if I say so.
I rule your life and though you may fight
I’m your boss and you can’t say no.

Cause, I’m the Boss!
Hear me now!
Cause, I’m the Boss!
To me you’ll bow!
Cause, I’m the Boss!
Now hear this!
Cause, I’m the Boss!
You Can’t resist

I tell you when to get up
And to go down
You’ll run in circles
All around
Down on your knees
You’ll beg and plead
Don’t get what you want
You get what you need

Cause, I’m the Boss!
Hear me now!
Cause, I’m the Boss!
To me you’ll bow!
Cause, I’m the Boss!
Now hear this!
Cause, I’m the Boss!
You Can’t resist

I tell you when to get up
And to go down
You’ll run in circles
All around
Down on your knees
You’ll beg and plead
Don’t get what you want
You get what you need

Cause, I’m the Boss!
Hear me now!
Cause, I’m the Boss!
To me you’ll bow!
Cause, I’m the Boss!
Now hear this!
Cause, I’m the Boss!
You Can’t resist
High Ruler on the throne
You will answer to me alone.
Get on your feet, do what you’re told.
I’ve got you under my control.

Cause, I’m the Boss!
Cause, I’m the Boss!
Cause, I’m the Boss!
Cause, I’m the Boss!
