King of Nothing

You got to climb up on your high horses, decide over air You're the ruler of a void, there is no need to be fair In an invisible robe, sitting on a throne of sand As a real prince of blank, nod to the people and wave with your hand With your back all straight, satisfied that you are right Convinced that it is simple, everything is black or white With your ruler to measure, it always shows in your favor Feeling self-indulgent, the taste is the sweetest of flavors On your head sits a crown of lead And your life is just days that have fled You are truly the king You are truly a king of nothing On your head sits a crown of lead And your life is just days that have fled You are truly the king You are truly a king of nothing In a world of make belief, your word is the law Your voice sounds like thunder, everyone listens in awe You are laying down the rules, on a tablet of stone We bow to your wisdom, adore what you have shown On your head sits a crown of lead And your life is just days that have fled You are truly the king You are truly a king of nothing On your head sits a crown of lead And your life is just days that have fled You are truly the king You are truly a king of nothing On your head sits a crown of lead And your life is just days that have fled You are truly the king You are truly a king of nothing On your head sits a crown of lead And your life is just days that have fled You are truly the king You are truly a king of nothing
