Not Even The King

I had just finished doing, oh God, I don't even remember what show

I can't remember if it was Tompkins or if it was Seward Park, down on Essex Street

Anyway, it doesn't matter, this fool, your father

He wheeled out this old upright piano and he just started to play

Money

Some people so poor, all that they got is money

And, oh, diamonds

Some people waste their life counting their thousands

And I don't care what they're offering

How much gold they bring

They can't afford what we got

Not even the king

They can't afford what we got

Not even the king

Oh, castles

Some people so lonely, what good is a castle

Surrounded by people?

But ain't got a friend that's not on the payroll

And I don't care what they bring

They can have everything

They can't afford what we got

Not even the king

They can't afford what we got

Not even the king

And all of a sudden, Davis and me were the only people in the world

And all the king's horses and all the king's men

Came charging to get what we got

They offered the crown and they offered the throne

I already got all that I want

All the king's horses and all the king's men

They came marching through

They offered the world just to have what we got

But I found the world in you, I found the world in you

Hey

And that was it
