Lyrics
So are you king of the hill
Questioning if the person sees themselves as successful or facing difficulties.
Or on a slippery slope
Suggesting the possibility of falling from a position of success.
Talking cheap walking tall
Highlighting the difference between talking confidently and actual actions.
Delusions of grandeur
False beliefs of being more important or powerful than reality.
Would it hurt to show respect
Questioning the difficulty of showing basic courtesy.
A simple nod will do
Suggesting a simple acknowledgment as a form of respect.
Would it kill you to be nice
Asking if being kind is a difficult or harmful act.
A common code of conduct
Advocating for a shared set of behavioral standards.
Ten seconds from being a fool
Warning about the potential for foolish behavior in the near future.
Why you have to act so cool
Questioning the need for putting on a detached, confident demeanor.
Ten seconds is all it take
Highlighting the brief time it takes to reveal true character.
To expose genuine from fake
Emphasizing the ease of distinguishing authenticity from pretense.
From hero to zero a small step
Describing a swift decline from a heroic status to insignificance.
From hero to zero a bad rep
Emphasizing the negative reputation accompanying the fall.
From hero to zero king to clown
Depicting the drastic shift from being highly regarded to being a mockery.
You´re digging deeper down
Indicating a deepening descent into unfavorable circumstances.
It takes time to get to the top
Stating the time and effort required to achieve success.
And in the blink of an eye
Highlighting the suddenness of losing one's position at the top.
It can all come to a stopIn a downward spiral
Describing a rapid and uncontrollable decline.
Ten seconds from being a fool
Reiterating the warning about potential foolish behavior.
Why you have to act so cool
Questioning the necessity of projecting a detached, cool image.
Ten seconds is all it take
Reiterating the brief time needed to reveal true character.
To expose genuine from fake
Emphasizing the ease of distinguishing authenticity from pretense.
From hero to zero a small step
Repeating the idea of a rapid decline from hero to zero.
From hero to zero a bad rep
Reiterating the negative reputation accompanying the fall.
From hero to zero king to clown
Reemphasizing the drastic shift from being highly regarded to being a mockery.
You´re digging deeper down
Underlining the continued descent into unfavorable circumstances.
