	Story Behind the Song SIR FORREST MONACLE: "This is one of Domingo's little two-minute noise projects. Quite raucous, and I feel that it doesn't breathe. But he says the "power" is there. He also maintains that Homer Simpson is secretly a genius, so...well, whatever. The interesting thing about this is the speed with which he created it: He thought of it on a Thursday Night and had the music finalized the next night. Then, of course, came his laborious straining for lyrics. But I applaud his go-get-them attitude towards the piece, and enjoy his tongue-planted-firmly-in-cheek lyrics." Lyrics We stole the stars Then we conquered Mars They all bowed down to us It was now our universe We sailed the seas Pirates doing as we please Swinging ship to ship, boat to boat A legacy of plundering we wrote (That's what I wanted, anyway. I mean, that's what I wanted to do.) We found the city of gold Like the ancients foretold What a life we lead Me king and you a darling queen The mountain was ours It had taken us hours But we lay on top Your hand I'll never drop (Was that so unreasonable? I mean...I don't think so.) People point and stare They're all sadly aware When our flag is unfurled We're the greatest thing in this world We made the bombs That cured the world's wrongs This can't get any better We do all this together We would have taken it all But there was something missing Found the love of my life But apparently she didn't (I mean come on. I think it was obvious to everyone else that we should be together. Right?)
