Toto — King Of The World

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] Helter skelter, it's a den of thieves A sea of errors that a greedy man weaves A few really bad apples always spoil the lot Rolling blackouts, on everyone's buck I go to work and try to make ends meet My life is over [Chorus 2] 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 [Chorus 3/Outro] 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 I was the king of the world... I was the king of the world...
