Lyrics

KING OF THE WORLD


You were a phoney since you were ten
You?ve been around the world and back again
You keep company with the simple folks
Who won?t notice that they?re completely hoaxed.

Up on the hill of true perception
You mock at the valleys of affection
Step outside your golden cage
And let the real fool show.

But you don?t realize you?re up a tree
Because we?re the first to disagree.

Stand to attention here?s the king of the world
No one?s exalted but the king of the world
Your grace is polishing your crown
But in the end you?re just a clown.

You surround yourself with straights
Always telling you you were king
It?s so easy to blame someone else
To brighten up your naked soul.

But you don?t?

Stand to attention?
