Lyrics
So you still believe you're ruling the World,
Expressing skepticism about the listener's belief in global dominance.
Using all your tricks to keep the picture blurred.
Accusing the listener of employing deceptive tactics to maintain a distorted perception.
Scatter your enemies, confound their politics,
Encouraging the scattering of enemies and disruption of political strategies.
So you still believe you're ruling the world...
Reiterating doubt about the listener's perceived control over the world.
God save your gracious Queen,
Referencing a traditional plea for the well-being of the Queen (possibly sarcastic).
Long live your noble Queen.
Wishing longevity to the Queen in a possibly ironic or critical tone.
God save your gracious Queen,
Repeating the plea for the well-being of the Queen.
God save you all!
Generic expression of a plea for divine protection for all.
So you still believe you're superior,
Casting doubt on the listener's belief in their superiority.
And all other nations are inferior,
Claiming the listener perceives other nations as inferior.
Any sedition hushed, rebellious Scots crushed,
Advocating the suppression of dissent and rebellion, possibly referring to historical events.
So you still believe you're superior,
Reiterating skepticism about the listener's sense of superiority.
God save your gracious Queen,
Recalling the plea for the Queen's well-being in a possibly critical manner.
Long live your noble Queen.
Wishing continued nobility for the Queen, perhaps with an undertone of irony.
God save your gracious Queen,
Repeating the plea for the well-being of the Queen.
God save you all!
Reiterating a generic plea for divine protection for all.
So you still pretend you're ruling the World,
Expressing disbelief in the listener's continued pretense of global rule.
Using all your tricks to keep the picture blurred...
Accusing the listener of using deceptive methods to maintain a distorted perception.
So you still pretend you're ruling the World,
Reiterating skepticism about the listener's pretended global rule.
Using all your tricks to keep the picture blurred...
Accusing the listener of using deceptive tactics to maintain a distorted perception.
