No Kings

Up to my chin in wasted youth From breaking bread with the likes of you I can't replace what they took from you But we can take what's left and make something new But what do you want me to do Have two and a half kids and white suburban walls to put my head through Because complacency looks so much worse on me than it does on you "It's such a shame," they'll say, "he got in his own way It's such a shame he paid for mistakes with an interest rate" The sun's kissing your cheek like it's sweet on you But the things that you've done are bleeding through Urban royalty looks down on you But they're the kings and queens of nothing new So what do you want me to do Have two and a half kids and white suburban walls to put my head through Because complacency looks so much worse on me than it does on you In shallow waters bodies lie You won't swim and I know why Because when fiction bends the will of men They're never the same again They're never the same again
