Toto - King Of The World 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
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

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 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
