Everybody wants to be king

Ready or not here they come 
With so many people speaking as one
And you'd like to believe that this time around
Something's going to change in this part of town

But you've heard it before in so many ways
And you've seen the damage done by a star studded craze
It's just the same old story, same old sound
Cuz he's still royalty and still wears a crown

Cuz that's the nature of the world we're living in
Everybody wants to be king

The names have all changed, but the faces remain
Just a little darker version of the same old chains
And the same old story we wear so well
That we'll buy anything they're looking to sell

And so the latest story making the rounds
And brought to you live by the media clowns
Is that by changing the players, you're changing the game
But strip off the plastic, the poisons the same

Cuz every four years we got the national game
Of placing our bets on a horse that's gone lame
But the fix has been in for so long now
They only keep us around so someone will bow

So here's what you do, just follow the crowd
Put your hands in the air and clap real loud
And four years from now you'll do it again
When they give us a chance and we vote for our king
