Kings Of The World

Kings of the world running our lives
Powerful husbands with ambitious wives
Ever-so-smug 'cause they make all the rules
They are not kings, just a bunch of old fools.

Kings of the world planning ahead
They haven't noticed they're already dead
They eat the fat and they toss us the bones
Transparent kings sitting on paper thrones.

[Chorus:]
We know how to live we squeeze the juice from every moment
We make love day after day night after night we sing we dance
It makes no sense in being careful not when time files like an arrow
We take every risk that's out there we're prepared to take that chance
We are the...

Kings of the world, free as the wind
Looking for sins that we haven't yet sinned
They think they're smart, but they're really quite dumb
You miss the tune when you're banging your drum.

Kings of the world, they're just a joke
They are not kings, they're just misguided folk
Boring as hell and as dull as can be
One thing's for sure: they would love to be me!

[Chorus]

We'll take the chance!

[Chorus x2]

Time is like an arrow
We take every risk that's out there
We'll take the chance
Kings of the World!
