teen idols - king just for a day lyrics

down and out again
it's nothing new
i guess it's always been this way, everyday
there's nothing i can do

i can't face the world again
go back to bed
when you start with nothing
there's nothing that you can do
i just can't get ahead

with my back against the wall
i'm prepared to take the fall
i don't think i'll ever hear them say
king just for a day
if only once it would be nice
after all my sacrifice
carved in stone above my grave
king just for a day

i've worked my life away
for someone else
nothing to show for all my work
like a jerk
i've done it all myself

don't try to lend a hand
'cause i'm too proud
i'm a self-made man,
a man that's turned into
a blank face in the crowd
