Stiff Little Fingers - Who Died and Made You Elvis? lyrics

It's not a perfect world

But nobody said it was, yeah nobody lied to you

And it's not fair

But when has it ever been and when will it ever be

There's a lot you should learn

And with your ability learn some humility cos

Who died and made you Elvis?

Who died and made you Elvis?

Who died and made you Elvis?

Who died and made you King?

So you believe your press

You think you're the greatest thing convinced you're the big Tam'

You're an honoured guest

And we're glad to have you and we're all picking up the tab

There's something you should know about

And it's time you got it straight, I hope i'm not too late so

Who died and made you Elvis?

Who died and made you Elvis?

Who died and made you Elvis?

Who died and made you King?

Who died?

Who cashed their chips in and left you in charge?

Who died and made you king?

Now in the scheme of things

You're no more important than that guy standing next to you.

So stand up straight

And be what you ought to be and not what you think you are

There's a lot you could give if you'd

just be yourself

There's a lot more you'd get if you'd

Drop the superstar and just be who you are
