You're actin' out like you want teacher's attention
Well, I'm the principal of this eternal detention
I hope you had your fun, but, son, it's time to ring the bell
Ha! Ding-ding
Sinnerman, you're gettin' way too big for your screen
Now I'm here to drop your punishment, it's gonna be mean
Just in case y'all had forgotten who's the motherfuckin' king of Hell
'Cause I'm the serpent, I'm the flame
The mortal world is scared to say my name
I am so spooky, I'm the shit
I am a living aspect of the infinite
So, scheme all you want, Mister TV-Head-Man
I'm nearly a god, who are you?
Just a dead man
Wow, super scary
I see why they give you such a big hat
Quick thing, though
It's curious you stopped by to fight me nail and tooth
When all I mean to try, is to dispense a dose of truth
We sinners do not need a king, we need someone who understands (yes)
A different kind of despot bringing respite from divine demands (yeah)
New order, like what Lilith had envisioned when she threatened them
She knew Hell could be great, and we can make Hell great again
Just imagine if we could flip the script
Take the fight back way upstairs
And make 'em beg and say their prayers
And what would happen if we could run the ship?
Hoist the mainsail, paint the decks (aye, aye)
Have a crewmate to protect
'Cause they want us all divided, that is how they keep us down
We got the guts (ha), we got the chutzpah (ha)
We got the means to seize the crowd (yeah!)
If you're not fuckin' stupid, then you've only got one choice
Me, Vox Populi, the People's voice
Try to picture if we could escape this hole (let's go!)
Never have to live in fear of days that angels may appear
'Cause, here's the kicker, sinners can save their souls
Not by changing for redemption, but by taking over Heaven
They say Hell's too populated, that's why they exterminate
We got the numbers (ha), we got the thunder (ha)
Let's annex their real estate (yeah!)
If you wanna see a new world, raise your fist and make some noise
Hail Vox Populi, the People's voice
Manifest destiny, long as you invest in me, the rest'll all fit into place
Meanwhile, this king thinks all of us peasants
Should be satisfied with an endless existence of suffering (whoa-whoa, wait, wait, hold on)
Tell me, Hell, are you satisfied? (No!)
Your wife knew it was wrong, Lu (ooh), maybe that's why she's not around anymore
You mouthy little mortal (here it comes!)
Smite me! Silence me! That's all you angels know how to do
You won't do it, you're weak
They didn't banish you, they clipped your wings and chained you down here
Well, I got no chains on me, who's with me?
Let's unite and fight for a brand-new realm (brand-new realm)
We'll direct our destinies as one nation under Vees (ha-ha, I love it!)
'Cause, happy days are nigh with Vox at the helm (that's me!)
Future's never tasted sweeter (oh yeah), thanks to our charming leader
Every sinner can be a winner, let's take our fates to the Pearly Gates
We can have the keys if we trust the Vees, give applause, Hell has cause to rejoice
Hail Vox Populi, the People's voice
