King For A Day
Lyrics 
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'

No time to fuss and fight
'Cause life don't mean much
To be king for a day
I can't satisfy the hunger
Is all take and no giving
On stepping stones of human hearts and souls
Is all take and no giving
Well, the way that we're living
'Cause the way that we're living
Into the land of 'Nothing for free'
The loudest mouth will hail the new found way
Trying to get a way up with the smile
If measured out with someone else's plight
To be king for a day
To be king for a day, king for a day
And ambition gets stronger
Everyone's licking up to the new king pin
Ain't my way of living in style
Sing for your supper boy and jump to a finger click
You're only here once, so you got to get it right
'Cause the ladder gets longer
King for a day
King for a day
King for a day
Everyone's creeping up to the money God
There's nothing to believe in
...
There's nothing much to believe in
Songwriter: Colin Moulding
The loudest mouth will hail the new found way
That bad old moon has got you in its sway
