Lyrics:

Smoke and mirrors

It's a house of cards

Everybody has windows

And big cigars



The law of the jungle

Is very new to some

The animals are vicious and arrogant

And they eat their young



I used to work my job from 9 to 5

I just survived



I was the king of the world

I had every thing thrown at me,

That the judge and jury could hurl

I was the man of the hour

I would claw and scratch my way up,

To the very top of the tower



Helter skelter

It's a den of thieves

Sea of errors

That a greedy man weaves



A few really bad apples

Always spoil the lot

Rolling blackouts

On everyone's block



I go to work and try to make ends meet

My life is over



I was the king of the world

I had everything I needed,

I owned every type of girl

I was the man of the hour

I would claw and scratch my way,

Up to the very top of the tower



Instrumental Break



I was the king of the world

I had everything I needed,

I owned every type of girl

I was the man of the hour

I would claw and scratch my way,

Up to the very top of the tower
