XTC - King For A Day

Текст песни King For A Day

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 king pin,
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 a 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.
