King of the World

Smoke and mirrors
It's a house of cards
Everybody has windows
And big cigarsThe law of the jungle
Is very new to some
The animals are vicious and arrogant
And they eat their youngI used to work my job from 9 to 5
I just survivedI was the king of the world
I had every thing thrown at me,
That the judge and jury could hurl
I was the man of the hour
I would claw and scratch my way up,
To the very top of the towerHelter skelter
It's a den of thieves
Sea of errors
That a greedy man weavesA few really bad apples
Always spoil the lot
Rolling blackouts
On everyone's blockI go to work and try to make ends meet
My life is overI was the king of the world
I had everything I needed,
I owned every type of girl
I was the man of the hour
I would claw and scratch my way,
Up to the very top of the towerInstrumental BreakI was the king of the world
I had everything I needed,
I owned every type of girl
I was the man of the hour
I would claw and scratch my way,
Up to the very top of the tower
