Xtc - King For A Day lyrics

Everyone's creeping up to the money god,<br>Putting tongues where they didn't ought to be.<br>On stepping stones of human hearts and souls,<br>Into the land of nothing for free.<br><br>Well the way that we're living,<br>Is all take and no giving,<br>There's nothing to believe in,<br>The loudest mouth will hail the new found way,<br>To be king for a day.<br><br>Everyone's licking up to the new king pin,<br>Trying to get way up with a smile.<br>Sing for your supper boy and jump to a finger click,<br>Ain't my way of living in style.<br><br>'cause the ladder gets longer,<br>And ambition gets stronger,<br>I can't satisfy the hunger,<br>That bad old moon has got you in it's sway,<br>To be king for a day.<br><br>You're only here once so you got to get it right.<br>(no time to fuss and fight.)<br>'cause life don't mean much if measured out with someone else's plight.<br>(in time you'll see the light.)<br><br>'cause the way that we're living,<br>Is all take and no giving,<br>There's nothing to believe in,<br>The loudest mouth will hail the new found way,<br>To be king for a day.
