King's Men

from Battles by Kingsley Flood

/

lyrics

Oh I got me a three piece
I wear it with a gold plated pin
No you’ll never see me
Sewing torn stitches within

Oh I bought a Ferrari
I drive it down Main Street and back
No you’ll never see it
Parked in front of my one bedroom shack

Chorus
So why you wanna drink from a bottle that’s broken
Why you wanna think using words so spoken
Why you wanna lose when winning is winning
Where are all the king’s men when you need them

My baby’s a good girl
She knows what to call me at home
God bless her soul
She don’t dare get it wrong

She gave me a good son
He’s got his daddy’s eyes
He says he’s a star in the schoolyard
He knows better not to cry

Chorus

I wake in the morning
Raise my chin, tie my tie
Look in the broken mirror
It’s only a matter of time

Chorus
