about

A pop song about how spoiled we've become.

lyrics

Living Like Kings

So where are the days we were all involved
Say the word and the problems's solved
We offer nothing more than just excuses

Now the best ain't good enough
Now we're soft where we once were tough
High man on the totem pole or nothing

We marvel at days gone by. How did the poor souls survive?
With nothing but everything they'd need?


We've been living like kings, we've been acting like royalty
We just take and don't give, so don't expect any more from me
Living like kings

Stroll by the pantheon
Palaces and ruins gone
Compared to what we got now, they're nothing

Take one man from our time
The poorest one'd be the front of the line
They'd look his way and say, "Hey, that's really something>"

A blink of an eye and we're lost
Now to consider the cost
Of finding a way out of here


We've been living like kings, we've been acting like royalty
We've been eating like pigs, drinking like fish, doncha give any more to me
When the sun goes down and stays down, don't ask why
Cause we been living like kings, cause we been acting like royalty
We just take and don't give, so don't expect any more from me
Living like kings
