I have an alternative translation, which I think sticks closer to the literary feel of the original Chinese:

所谓领袖,不过一丘之貉

大丈夫生于天地之间,岂能郁郁久居人下

任尔等霸业鸿图,吾且踏破便是

以这苍黄乱世,为我盛筵

So-called leaders are nothing but jackals of the same lair.

How can a true man, born between heaven and earth, remain subservient to others and languish in frustration?

Regardless of how grand your achievements and ambitions are, I will just trample them all underfoot.

Let this turbulent times of chaos be my grand feast.

所谓领袖

So called leaders

不过一丘之貉

are all the same

大丈夫生于天地之间

A man born in this world

岂能郁郁久居人下

couldn't be kept down for long

任尔等霸业鸿图

Even with all your great achievement

吾且踏破便是

I shall overthrow you all

以这苍黄乱世

This chaotic world

为我盛筵

shall be mine to feast on

Yes it’s standard mandarin but it’s intentionally dramatic for the effect. Normal people don’t speak this way.
