The King
The system we live in splits the world we know
Into kings in a castle and some rats on the floor
One part has everything and even asks for more
The other's in the gutter got too less to live on
I don't wanna be afraid
Throw myself into the sea
And hope you'll forget me
Got nothing left to lose
But if you'd ask me
Where would I choose to be
I would not choose the castle
I'd still choose the streets
If you don't own a thing
You can't lose anything
I would rather be a rat than a king
I don't wanna be afraid
Throw myself into the sea
And hope you'll forget me
Got nothing left to lose
I don't wanna be afraid
Throw myself into the sea
And hope you'll forget me
Got nothing left to lose
I'd rather be a rat than a king if I could choose
The system we live in splits the world we know
Into kings in a castle and some rats on the floor
The crown and the throne, the greed for more
A withdrawing stutter, the oath that you swore
I don't wanna be afraid
Throw myself into the sea
And hope you'll forget me
Got nothing left to lose
I don't wanna be afraid
Throw myself into the sea
And hope you'll forget me
Got nothing left to lose
I'd rather be a rat than a king if I could choose
To live, to survive
Too less, to feel pride
They're angry you made it
Who cares if you die?
Is any of it justified?
To live, to survive
Too less, to feel pride
They're angry you made it
Who cares if you lose?
I'd rather be a rat than a king if I could choose
Into kings in a castle and some rats on the floor
One part has everything and even asks for more
The other's in the gutter got too less to live on
I don't wanna be afraid
Throw myself into the sea
And hope you'll forget me
Got nothing left to lose
But if you'd ask me
Where would I choose to be
I would not choose the castle
I'd still choose the streets
If you don't own a thing
You can't lose anything
I would rather be a rat than a king
I don't wanna be afraid
Throw myself into the sea
And hope you'll forget me
Got nothing left to lose
I don't wanna be afraid
Throw myself into the sea
And hope you'll forget me
Got nothing left to lose
I'd rather be a rat than a king if I could choose
The system we live in splits the world we know
Into kings in a castle and some rats on the floor
The crown and the throne, the greed for more
A withdrawing stutter, the oath that you swore
I don't wanna be afraid
Throw myself into the sea
And hope you'll forget me
Got nothing left to lose
I don't wanna be afraid
Throw myself into the sea
And hope you'll forget me
Got nothing left to lose
I'd rather be a rat than a king if I could choose
To live, to survive
Too less, to feel pride
They're angry you made it
Who cares if you die?
Is any of it justified?
To live, to survive
Too less, to feel pride
They're angry you made it
Who cares if you lose?
I'd rather be a rat than a king if I could choose
