The Guy Who Used to Be King
We were stuck in line
Waiting on this fool
Taking his own sweet time
Ordering his gruel
He took the greasy bag
Counted up his change too long
So we hit the horn
Till we moved him on
Wasn't that the guy who used to be king?
Wasn't that the guy who used to run everything?
Wasn't that the guy who used to be king?
He signed for it at the door
His bathrobe open wide
I thought I'd seen his face before but
Man, you should have seen inside
He wasn't living too well
Ragged as a poor dirt farmer
Stacks of unread magazines
With his face on the cover in his old knight's armor
Wasn't that the guy who used to be king?
Wasn't that the guy who used to run everything?
Wasn't that the guy who used to be king?
He'd been in charge so long
He never knew no other way
He'd done so many wrong
He should have known that they'd make him pay
He only stopped for smokes
He kept the engine running
He had the radio up
He never saw it coming
Wasn't that the guy who used to be king?
Wasn't that the guy who used to run everything?
Wasn't that the guy who used to be king?
Waiting on this fool
Taking his own sweet time
Ordering his gruel
He took the greasy bag
Counted up his change too long
So we hit the horn
Till we moved him on
Wasn't that the guy who used to be king?
Wasn't that the guy who used to run everything?
Wasn't that the guy who used to be king?
He signed for it at the door
His bathrobe open wide
I thought I'd seen his face before but
Man, you should have seen inside
He wasn't living too well
Ragged as a poor dirt farmer
Stacks of unread magazines
With his face on the cover in his old knight's armor
Wasn't that the guy who used to be king?
Wasn't that the guy who used to run everything?
Wasn't that the guy who used to be king?
He'd been in charge so long
He never knew no other way
He'd done so many wrong
He should have known that they'd make him pay
He only stopped for smokes
He kept the engine running
He had the radio up
He never saw it coming
Wasn't that the guy who used to be king?
Wasn't that the guy who used to run everything?
Wasn't that the guy who used to be king?
