King of the World

Rei do Mundo

King of the World

Fumaça e espelhosSmoke and mirrors
É uma casa de cartasIt's a house of cards
Todo mundo tem janelasEverybody has windows
E charutos grandesAnd big cigars

A lei da selvaThe law of the jungle
É bem nova pra algunsIs very new to some
Os animais são cruéis e arrogantesThe animals are vicious and arrogant
E devoram seus filhotesAnd they eat their young

Eu costumava trabalhar das 9 às 5I used to work my job from 9 to 5
Eu só sobreviviaI just survived

Eu era o rei do mundoI was the king of the world
Tinha tudo que me jogavam,I had every thing thrown at me,
Que o juiz e o júri podiam lançarThat the judge and jury could hurl
Eu era o homem da horaI was the man of the hour
Eu arranhava e lutava pra subir,I would claw and scratch my way up,
Até o topo da torreTo the very top of the tower

Confusão totalHelter skelter
É um covil de ladrõesIt's a den of thieves
Mar de errosSea of errors
Que um homem ganancioso teceThat a greedy man weaves

Algumas maçãs podresA few really bad apples
Sempre estragam o restoAlways spoil the lot
ApagõesRolling blackouts
Na rua de todo mundoOn everyone's block

Eu vou trabalhar e tento fechar as contasI go to work and try to make ends meet
Minha vida acabouMy life is over

Eu era o rei do mundoI was the king of the world
Tinha tudo que precisava,I had everything I needed,
Eu tinha todo tipo de garotaI owned every type of girl
Eu era o homem da horaI was the man of the hour
Eu arranhava e lutava pra subir,I would claw and scratch my way,
Até o topo da torreUp to the very top of the tower

Pausa InstrumentalInstrumental Break

Eu era o rei do mundoI was the king of the world
Tinha tudo que precisava,I had everything I needed,
Eu tinha todo tipo de garotaI owned every type of girl
Eu era o homem da horaI was the man of the hour
Eu arranhava e lutava pra subir,I would claw and scratch my way,
Até o topo da torreUp to the very top of the tower
