When you live a lonely life
Even the days prefer the night
Keeping step to the hearts off beat
On the often empty streets
Hate fills the kingdom that's surveyed
The innocent turn their heads away
We've come to expect nothing less
From the King of Bitterness
A chess match using ghetto pawns
As the procession rolls along
Passing by in time to thumb the nose
The Emperor that wears no clothes
Mark it down and save the date
No way is there to escape
A bitter pill adds to the bitter edge
For the King of Bitterness
Spread the wealth and take a bite
Promised anything you like
If they would look they'd clearly see
That you were born of royalty
Click your ruby heals, there's something wrong
No way will you make it home
Remember what your mother said
About the King of Bitterness
You've been stuck and you have bled
To the King of Bitterness
Lay down now you sleepy head
Goodnight King of Bitterness

When you live a lonely life
Even the days prefer the night
Keeping step to the hearts off beat
On the often empty streets
Hate fills the kingdom that's surveyed
The innocent turn their heads away
We've come to expect nothing less
From the King of Bitterness
A chess match using ghetto pawns
As the procession rolls along
Passing by in time to thumb the nose
The Emperor that wears no clothes
Mark it down and save the date
No way is there to escape
A bitter pill adds to the bitter edge
For the King of Bitterness
Spread the wealth and take a bite
Promised anything you like
If they would look they'd clearly see
That you were born of royalty
Click your ruby heals, there's something wrong
No way will you make it home
Remember what your mother said
About the King of Bitterness
You've been stuck and you have bled
To the King of Bitterness
Lay down now you sleepy head
Goodnight King of Bitterness
