lyrics

He was the King
King of the losers
He did his thing
They thought he was cool
He had a queen
He didn’t choose her
But everyone in town
Thought he was profound
And they all hung upon his every word
King of the Losers

He used to think
That he couldn’t win
He used to sink
When he was trying to swim
His little queen
Was a bit of a boozer
And when the sun went down
She would make the rounds
And stay out ‘til the night turned into day
King of the Losers

Bridge
He used to stand
On top of the hill
Check out the land
That was his domain
Get mad at the queen
Cause she was a slut
And he would come back down
And wander through the town
And they all shook his hand & knew his name
King of the Losers

He threw a feast
And everyone came
They grilled a beast
There was music and games
The jesters joked
With the carnival cruisers
And he looked round that night
And everything seemed right
And he felt quite content that he should be
King of the losers
