King of the World

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

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

Rey del Mundo

Humo y espejos
Es un castillo de naipes
Todo el mundo tiene ventanas
Y grandes cigarros

La ley de la selva
Es muy nuevo para algunos
Los animales son viciosos y arrogantes
Y se comen a sus crías

Solía trabajar mi trabajo de 9 a 5
Acabo de sobrevivir

Yo era el rey del mundo
Tenía todo arrojado hacia mí
Que el juez y el jurado podrían lanzar
Yo era el hombre del momento
Me arañaba y rascaba mi camino hacia arriba
Hasta la cima de la torre

Esqueleto Helter
Es una guarida de ladrones
Mar de errores
Que un hombre codicioso teje

Unas manzanas muy malas
Siempre estropear el lote
Apagos de rodadura
En el bloque de todos

Voy a trabajar y trato de llegar a fin de mes
Mi vida ha terminado

Yo era el rey del mundo
Tenía todo lo que necesitaba
Yo era dueño de todo tipo de chicas
Yo era el hombre del momento
Me arañaba y me rascaba el camino
Hasta la cima de la torre

Break Instrumental

Yo era el rey del mundo
Tenía todo lo que necesitaba
Yo era dueño de todo tipo de chicas
Yo era el hombre del momento
Me arañaba y me rascaba el camino
Hasta la cima de la torre
