King For A Day - 2001 - Remaster

Everyone's creeping up to the money god
Putting tongues where they didn't ought to be
On stepping stones of human hearts and souls
Into the land of "nothing for free"

Well, the way that we're living
Is all take and no giving
There's nothing to believe in
The loudest mouth will hail the new-found way
To be king for a day

Everyone's licking up to the new kingpin
Trying to get way up with a smile
Sing for your supper, boy, and jump to a finger click
Ain't my way of living in style

'Cause the ladder gets longer
And ambition gets stronger
I can't satisfy the hunger
That bad old moon has got you in its sway
To be king for the day

You're only here once, so you got to get it right (no time to fuss and fight)
'Cause life don't mean much if measured out with someone else's plight (in time, you'll see the light)

'Cause the way that we're living
Is all take and no giving
There's not much to believe in (not much to believe)
The loudest mouth will hail the new-found way
To be king for a day (king for a day)

You got to be the kingpin (king for a day)
Hey, to be the top dog (king for a day, for a day)
Hmm, to be king for a day (king for a day, for a day)
That bad old moon has got you in its sway (king for a day, for a day)
(King for a day, for a day, for a day...)
(King for a day, for a day, for a day...)
(King for a day, for a day, for a day...)
