Lyrics

And so the story goes
One day you would be king
And though your daddy pulled the string
Somehow you're hanging by a dream
Ya been grandstanding in your ivory tower
The village is up in arms
The natives are restless, cops defenseless
And you are gone gone gone
You must've got dropped on your head
From your mothers bed
Now that little baby hand
Is strangling the promised land
So the story goes
One day you would be king
Though your daddy pull the strings
Still you're hangin' by a dream
The way it's always told to all the schoolyard kids
Devils work and dirty deeds
Swing and sway in the breeze
And you're hangin' by a dream
Been shuck and jivin'
Drinkin' drivin' drunk on your own sweat
Your status quo is fallin' below the ceiling
of your debt
You're immoral you're sadistic, fuckin' twisted
Totally devoid of soul
Somethings happening here,
Do you know what it is Mr. Jones?
