letra de the king - philip labes

[verse 1]
i was top of all my classes
i was leading all the plays
i was on track for the iv league with a perfect gpa
i was humble and athletic, and well-meaning and well-read
and when i turned 18 the whole town gathered around and said:

[chorus]
“you can be the king, you can be the king of nowhere (of nowhere)
you can be the king, you can wear the armour and the crown (yeehaw!)
yeah, you can be the king
don’t you wanna be the king of nowhere? (of nowhere)
you can be the king, (the king!) and all you’ve got to do is stick around.”

[verse 2]
well, i’m not one to settle and never go beyond
i swam right up the river, looking for a bigger pond
i landed in los angeles and tried to book a play
they said they didn’t care about my hair or gpa
and they said:

[chorus]
“you are not the king!
you are not the king of somewhere. (of somewhere)
you are not the king, (no sir!) maybe you’re a jester or a clown. (hahahaha!)
yeah, you are not the king
you are not the king of somewhere. (of somewhere)
if you wanna be king, find yourself a smaller slice of town.”
[bridge]
i gave it 11 months of waiting tables, slinging beer
’til i woke up one morning with a ringing in my ear
it was the h-rns of greatness calling me back home
so i grabbed a one-way ticket to the graduation show
but when i hit the high school, something different in the air
in the theatre they were fawning while he was playing with his hair
through the window, i was watching as the folks were gathered around
as they toasted to his majesty and watched as he was crowned while singing:

[chorus]
“(wow!) you can be the king, you can be the king of nowhere (of nowhere)
you can be the king, you can wear the armour and the crown
yeah, you can be the king
don’t you wanna be the king of nowhere? (of nowhere)
you can be the king, just never take off that cap and gown (no, no, no)
no, no, no, no!
you can be the king, and all you’ve got to do is stick around (stick around!)
is stick around.”
