Here comes the King
red carpet and rings
Here comes the King
he's got everything
Litigation, institutions, isolation, distributions,
third world nations, degradation, destitution,
mass pollution, greed and war
greed and war, greed and war
Here comes the King
red carpet and rings
Here comes the King
he's got everything
Put another nail in your rocket
hear the silver singing in your pocket
buy some worlds, buy some girls,
and buy this town
Get a leg up, up the ivory tower
get the payback, work the extra hours
You'll be King man
but you ain't nothing now
You'll be King man
but you ain't nothing now
You'll be King man
but you ain't nothing now
