The King of Nowhere

lyrics

The King of Nowhere

The king of nowhere
I'm the high ambassador of losers
That went for a walk
No turning back
Just a life on the road

Once I had a dream
To make it big and rich
With status supreme
But I couldn't swallow
All that toxicity

But you should've buckled down
When you fitted in
And you didn't own up

Why?

'Cause I couldn’t
And I wouldn't

It's easy when you do things, like everybody else in the world does
But my conscience would’nt have it, it put it all out on the shelf love

And all us men
Are born as beautiful things
Full of joy
Who knows why
The love for ourselves runs out

Money breeds status
That makes you think that you're famous
King of it all
But your the king
Of nowhere after all

But you should've buckled down
When you fitted in
And you didn't own up

Why?

Cause I couldn’t
And I wouldn't

It's easy when you do things, like everybody else in the world does
But my conscience would’nt have it, it put it all out on the shelf love
