|
With a soft underbelly |
|
And a hardened heart |
|
They say you've got to be tough |
|
If you ain't that smart |
|
I'm sitting here alone |
|
Waiting for my phone to ring |
|
Run out of time |
|
Run out of hope |
|
The boys on the corner never run out of dope |
|
I keep myself high |
|
So I can keep doing my thing |
|
They say "Stupid is as stupid does And everything's the same as it ever was" |
|
I drink myself blind |
|
Trying to find a new song to sing |
|
Time is money, |
|
And money talks |
|
Bartender, pour me one more whiskey on the rocks |
|
While i try to understand |
|
Why every man wants to be king |
|
Heavy is the head that wears the crown (wears the crown) |
|
Everybody kicks you when you're down (when you're down) |
|
Laugh for now; later you can frown (you can frown) |
|
Heavy is the head that wears the crown (wears the crown) |
|
With a sweet disposition |
|
And an iron will |
|
A couple nice cars |
|
And a house on a hill my back account's full |
|
But my soul is still empty and cold |
|
All the money and the clothes |
|
And the sold out shows |
|
Don't mean a damn thing when nobody knows you |
|
And your home is just a house |
|
When you're sitting there alone and you're old |
|
I heard love is a game |
|
I heard love is a rock |
|
And I heard love is a house on a dead end block |
|
But the ending keeps changing every time that the story gets told |
|
Some pray for money |
|
Some pray for rain |
|
And some are just praying for relief from the pain |
|
But some of us will buy |
|
Just about anything we can be sold |
|
Heavy is the head that wears the crown (wears the crown) |
|
Everybody kicks you when you're down (when you're down) |
|
Laugh for now; later you can frown (you can frown) |
|
Heavy is the head that wears the crown (wears the crown) |
|
I'm a mean old dog |
|
Got a big old gun |
|
I'm a proud new papa |
|
I'm an only son |
|
I'm a beggar |
|
I'm a thief |
|
I'm a liar and a cheater too |
|
I've been around the block |
|
I've been around the sun |
|
I've been up |
|
I've been down |
|
I've been over and done |
|
I've seen the bottom of the pile |
|
And the mountain top |
|
Either will do |
|
Heavy is the head that wears the crown (wears the crown) |
|
Everybody kicks you when you're down (when you're down) |
|
Laugh for now; later you can frown (you can frown) |
|
Heavy is the head that wears the crown (wears the crown) |
