robbie fulks - little king lyrics
well it’s a vile world but that’s all right/long as the little king’s alive
in a day of shifting styles/his damage will last awhile.
dizzy in a fever of muscle and chrome/this jerkwater town burned like rome
truckled to the torch of one savage kid/that’s how to rule! that’s how to live!
when you’re old and not so clever/when you’re dragging your ghost around
these wild years won’t last forever/this kingdom comes right down!
little king had a midas hand/anything he touched turned yellow and ran
rebel boys, half-witted and brave/felt lucky to follow and slave
and from the back of his eyes, some demon sprung/made young men wanna touch bottles and guns
make pleistocene creatures of mom and dad/twice more kick than your real kings had
it’s a vile world, but that’s o.k./that’s where the smart bucks are today
tortoise sh-lls and a wedding ring/so much for the “little king.”
but, see that hilltop, gutted and bare…?/15 years back a king walked there
now some half-wit h-llsp-wn’s gonna take his turn/that’s how to crash! that’s how to burn!
