Lyrics
Everyone's creeping up to the money god,
People are gravitating towards wealth and materialism, worshiping money.
Putting tongues where they didn't ought to be
Engaging in inappropriate actions to gain favor or advantage.
On stepping stones of human hearts and souls,
Exploiting others' emotions and vulnerabilities for personal gain.
Into the land of "nothing for free"
Entering a world where nothing comes without a cost or exchange.
Well the way that we're living,
Our current lifestyle is characterized by selfishness without reciprocation.
Is all take and no giving,
Describing a culture of taking without giving back.
There's nothing to believe in,
Expressing a lack of faith or trust in anything meaningful.
The loudest mouth will hail the new found way,
Those who speak the loudest will celebrate a newfound method or ideology.
To be king for a day
Yearning to experience authority or control, even momentarily.
Everyone's licking up to the new king pin,
Everyone is seeking favor from the influential figure in power.
Trying to get way up with a smile
Attempting to gain favor with enthusiasm and positivity.
Sing for your supper boy and jump to a finger click,
Suggesting a willingness to perform or please others for personal gain.
Ain't my way of living in style
Rejecting this way of life as it doesn't align with personal values or preferences.
'Cause the ladder gets longer,
The hierarchy becomes more challenging to climb, and ambitions intensify.
And ambition gets stronger,
Ambition and desires for success become more potent.
I can't satisfy the hunger,
Unable to satisfy the insatiable desire for more or better.
That bad old moon has got you in its sway,
Being influenced or controlled by external forces or desires.
To be king for the day
Aspiring to experience authority or control, even if temporary.
You're only here once so you got to get it right
Emphasizing the need to live life correctly or in alignment with personal values.
(No time to fuss and fight)
Urging against wasting time on unnecessary conflicts.
'Cause life don't mean much if measured out with someone else's plight
Life loses its meaning if lived only by considering others' difficulties or struggles.
(In time you'll see the light)
Implying that eventually, one will understand this perspective.
'Cause the way that we're living,
Reflecting on the current culture of selfishness without reciprocity.
Is all take and no giving,
Reiterating the imbalance of taking without giving back.
There's not mush to believe in,
Expressing a lack of substantial beliefs or values.
The loudest mouth will hail the new found way,
Those who are the most vocal will celebrate a new way of thinking.
To be king for a day
Desire to experience authority or control, if only briefly.
You got to be the king for a day, ah
Reiterating the desire to experience authority or control.
To be king for a day
Expressing the longing to have a taste of authority, if only for a short time.
