Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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' [Chorus 1] Well, the way that we're living Is all take and no giving There's nothing to believe in The loudest mouth will hail the new found way To be king for a day [Verse 2] Everyone's licking up to the new king pin Trying to get a way up with the smile Sing for your supper boy and jump to a finger click Ain't my way of living in style [Chorus 2] 'Cause the ladder gets longer And ambition gets stronger I can't satisfy the hunger That bad old moon has got you in its sway To be king for a day, king for a day [Bridge] You're only here once, so you got to get it right No time to fuss and fight 'Cause life don't mean much If measured out with someone else's plight [Chorus 3] 'Cause the way that we're living Is all take and no giving There's nothing much to believe in The loudest mouth will hail the new found way To be king for a day King for a day King for a day King for a day
