Intro: Em 

Em
Everyone`s creeping up to the money God
Em
Putting tongues where they didn`t ought to be 
A#
On stepping stones of human hearts and souls
Em
Into the land of nothing for free

Em
Well the way that we`re living 
	 Em	
Is all take and no giving
	  Em
There`s nothing to believe in
    G
The loudest mouth will hail the new found way

To be king for Em 
 
Em	
Everyone`s licking up to the new king pin
A
Trying to get way up with a smile
Em
Sing for your supper boy and jump to a finger click
Em
Ain`t my way of living in style

        Em
Cus the ladder gets longer
    Em
And ambition gets stronger 
        Em
I can`t satisfy the hunger
     G
That bad old moon has got you in its sway

To be king for Em 

G
 You`re only here once so you got to get it right (no time to fuss and
Em
fight)

							    A
Cus life don`t mean much if measured out with someone else’s plight (In time you`ll see the light)

   
        Em
Cus the way that we`re living 
	 Em	
Is all take and no giving
	  Em
There`s nothing to believe in
    G
The loudest mouth will hail the new found way

To be king for Em
