King of the World
Smoke and mirrors
It's a house of cards
Everybody has windows
And big cigars
The law of the jungle
Is very new to some
The animals are vicious and arrogant
And they eat their young
I used to work my job from 9 to 5
I just survived
I was the king of the world
I had every thing thrown at me,
That the judge and jury could hurl
I was the man of the hour
I would claw and scratch my way up,
To the very top of the tower
Helter skelter
It's a den of thieves
Sea of errors
That a greedy man weaves
A few really bad apples
Always spoil the lot
Rolling blackouts
On everyone's block
I go to work and try to make ends meet
My life is over
I was the king of the world
I had everything I needed,
I owned every type of girl
I was the man of the hour
I would claw and scratch my way,
Up to the very top of the tower
Instrumental Break
I was the king of the world
I had everything I needed,
I owned every type of girl
I was the man of the hour
I would claw and scratch my way,
Up to the very top of the tower
Rei do Mundo
Fumaça e espelhos
É uma casa de cartas
Todo mundo tem janelas
E charutos grandes
A lei da selva
É bem nova pra alguns
Os animais são cruéis e arrogantes
E devoram seus filhotes
Eu costumava trabalhar das 9 às 5
Eu só sobrevivia
Eu era o rei do mundo
Tinha tudo que me jogavam,
Que o juiz e o júri podiam lançar
Eu era o homem da hora
Eu arranhava e lutava pra subir,
Até o topo da torre
Confusão total
É um covil de ladrões
Mar de erros
Que um homem ganancioso tece
Algumas maçãs podres
Sempre estragam o resto
Apagões
Na rua de todo mundo
Eu vou trabalhar e tento fechar as contas
Minha vida acabou
Eu era o rei do mundo
Tinha tudo que precisava,
Eu tinha todo tipo de garota
Eu era o homem da hora
Eu arranhava e lutava pra subir,
Até o topo da torre
Pausa Instrumental
Eu era o rei do mundo
Tinha tudo que precisava,
Eu tinha todo tipo de garota
Eu era o homem da hora
Eu arranhava e lutava pra subir,
Até o topo da torre
