King For A Day lyrics

Everyone's creeping up to the money god

Putting tongues where they didn't ought to be

On stepping stones of human hearts and souls

Into the land of "nothing for free"

Well the way that we're living

Is all take and no giving

There's nothing to believe in

The loudest mouth will hail the new-found way

To be king for a day

Everyone's licking up to the new King Pin

Trying to get way up with a smile

Sing for your supper boy and jump to a finger click

Ain't my way of living in style

'Cause the ladder gets longer

And ambition gets stronger

I can't satisfy the hunger

That bad old moon has got you in its sway

To be king for a day

(King for a day)

You're only here once so you got to get it right

(No time to fuss and fight)

'Cause life don't mean much if measured out

With someone else's plight

(In time you'll see the light)

'Cause the way that we're living

Is all take and no giving

There's not much to believe in

The loudest mouth will hail the new-found way

To be king for a day
