LYRICS

KING OF THE HILL

The king of the hill
(Feeling so debonair)
What a thrill
(I'm on my way to be a millionaire)
No despair
(Don't forget to pack to silverware)
It can't go wrong
(Jumping out into the stratosphere)

An imbalanced life watching TV
Leads to nihilistic thoughts, you'll see
They come and go from time to time
All part of life keeping you in-line
'Cos no matter how you play the game
There's someone holding on the reigns
And when that someone gets to you
You'll no longer be the king of the hill

Let's see

(39) Franco gets to write the almanac
(76) Concorde makes it to Bahrein and back
(41) Reza takes his place in old Tehran
(83) Richard Noble gets his speed degree
(94) Yeltsin's' tanks roll into Chechnya
(99) Clinton gets away with his cigar
So you see, nothings gonna last forever
To find out more you'll have to wait and see what you've in store

A balanced life reading Nietzsche
Helps in confronting your nature
A stoic life will help you see
That falling down is life it seems
'Cos no matter how you play the game
Somewhere there's a bullet with your name
And when fate's knocking at the door
You can look it squarely and fall to the floor

(75) Franco cops it with a heart attack
(2003) Concorde's final flight for fair Paris
(78) The Ayatollah gets to wreck the throne
(97) Richard Noble gets his record blown
(99) Yeltsin's' drinking causes disrespect
(2016) Ms. Clinton feel's the Trump effect
So you see, it's not a matter of what you do
There's always someone there to come and put an end to you

They'll come for you, they'll come for me
They'll come for you, what you want from me
They'll come for me, they'll come for you
They'll come for me, what will I do
And if no one does all this to you
It's probably you who'll do the deed
So if that's how you play the game
You'll no doubt cock it up all the same
