[Verse 1]
Dm
Hey Brother Christian
C         B                F
With your high and mighty errand
Dm                     C
Your actions speak so loud
          B                 C
I can't hear a word you're saying
Dm                    C
Hey Sister Bleeding Heart
     B             F
With all of your compassion
Dm                      C
Your labors soothe the hurt
     B                C
But can't assuage temptation
 
 
[Verse 2]
Dm
Hey man of science
 C         B                F
With your perfect rules of measure
Dm                     C
Can you improve this place
          B             C
With the data that you gather?
DM
Hey Mother Mercy
 C        B                  F
Can your loins bear fruit forever?
Dm               C
Is your fecundity
   B             C
A trammel or a treasure?
 
 
[Chorus]
  Dm   C      B            F
And I want to conquer the world
 Dm          C         B         C
Give all the idiots a brand new religion
      Dm         C
Put an end to poverty
     B             F
Uncleanliness and toil
  Dm    C          B           C
Promote equality in all of my decisions
Am
With a quick wink of the eye
 
And a "God you must be joking!"
 
 
[Verse 3]
 Dm
Hey Mr. Diplomat
 C         B                F
With your worldly aspirations
  Dm                       C
Did you see your children cry
          B             C
When you left them at the station?
 Dm
Hey moral soldier
 C         B                F
You've got righteous proclamation
 Dm                    C
And precious tomes to fuel
          B             C
Your pulpy conflagrations
 
 
[Chorus]
  Dm   C      B            F
And I want to conquer the world
 Dm          C         B         C
Give all the idiots a brand new religion
      Dm         C
Put an end to poverty
     B             F
Uncleanliness and toil
  Dm    C          B           C
Promote equality in all of my decisions
 
 
[Chorus]
  Dm   C      B            F
I want to conquer the world
 Dm         C
Expose the corporations
     B             F
And feed them to the children
  Dm              C
I'll do away with air pollution
  B            F
And then I'll save the whales
  Dm              C
We'll have peace on earth
  B            F
And global communion
 
Dm  C      B          C
I want to conquer the world!
Dm  C      B          C
I want to conquer the world!
Dm  C      B          C
I want to conquer the world!
Dm  C      B          C
I want to conquer the world!
