Lyrics

15th heir to the ball and chain House full of hungry kids to his name Everything to lose and nothing to gain Long reign Alfred the Great Touched his toes down the company store Scrubbed till he see his face in the floor Lost his place to a foot in the door Long reign Alfred the Great He never been too good with words oh no Said you don't need a Doctor you don't need a Doctor to Show It's a hard, hard road When your folks ain't cracked the code And your tears don't put food on the plate, Alfred the Great watch out Ever get the feeling you been stitched up? Textbook case of bad, bad luck There's a hole in your bucket and cracks in your cup Long reign Alfred the Great Touched his toes down the company store Scrubbed till he see his face in the floor He ain't gonna dance for the suits no more Long reign Alfred the Great He never been too good with words oh no Said you don't need a Doctor you don't need a Doctor to Show It's a hard, hard road When your folks ain't cracked the code And your tears don't put food on the plate, Alfred the Great watch out It's a hard, hard road When your folks ain't cracked the code And your tears don't put food on the plate, and the Rent won't wait, oh no It's a hard, hard road When your folks ain't cracked the code And your tears don't put food on the plate, Alfred the Great watch out Food on the plate, Alfred the Great watch out
