lyrics

I WANT TO BUILD A FORTRESS TO KEEP THE WORLD OUTSIDE
I’LL FILL IT FULL OF PRETTY THINGS I’LL GATHER AND I’LL HIDE
IT ISN’T THAT I NEED IT IT MAY NOT SAVE MY LIFE
BUT WITH MY CREATURE COMFORTS I CAN SHUT OUTSIDE THE STRIFE

AND WHEN I’VE BUILT MY WALL ABOUT
I’LL SIT INSIDE AND SING
AND SAFE INSIDE MY CASTLE
WELL I CAN BE THE KING

I DON’T WANT MUCH TO LIVE WITH I JUST WANT MORE THAN YOU
TO LOCK AWAY ALL THAT I’VE GOT IN CASE YOU WANT IT TOO
SAT INSIDE MY STURDY WALLS I CHOSE MY OWN DELIGHTS
DECIDE ON MY BEHAVIOUR DETERMINE WRONG AND RIGHT

AND WHEN I’VE BUILT MY WALL ABOUT
I’LL SIT INSIDE AND SING
AND SAFE INSIDE MY CASTLE
WELL I CAN BE THE KING

I’M SAT INSIDE MY FORTRESS
THEY’RE BANGING ON THE DOOR
GOT TO KEEP THEM LOCKED OUTSIDE
THE WEARY AND THE POOR

I’M SAFE IN MY SECURITY
WITHIN THE IRON RING
AND THOUGH I CANNOT SLEEP AT NIGHT
I STILL HAVE EVERYTHING
AND SAFE INSIDE MY CASTLE
WELL I CAN BE THE KING
