It's a house of cards
Everybody has windows
And big cigars
The law of the jungle
Is very new to some
The animals are vicious and arrogant
And they eat their young
I used to work my job from 9 to 5
I just survived
I 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 tower
Helter skelter
It's a den of thieves
Sea of errors
That a greedy man weaves
A few really bad apples
Always spoil the lot
Rolling blackouts
On everyone's block
I go to work and try to make ends meet
My life is over
I 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
Instrumental Break
I 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
Smoke and mirrors It's a house of cards Everybody has windows And big cigars The law of the jungle Is very new to some The animals are vicious and arrogant And they eat their young I used to work my job from 9 to 5 I just survived I 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 tower Helter skelter It's a den of thieves Sea of errors That a greedy man weaves A few really bad apples Always spoil the lot Rolling blackouts On everyone's block I go to work and try to make ends meet My life is over I 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 Instrumental Break I 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 Explain Request ×
