With a soft underbelly,
and a hardened heart,
they say you gotta be tough if you ain't that smart,
I'm sittin here alone, waitin for my phone to ring.
Run outta time,
run outta hope,
the boys on the corner never run outta dope,
I keep myself high, so I can keep doin' my thing.
They say,
stupid is as stupid does,
and everything's the same as it ever was,
I drink myself blind tryin' to find a new song to sing.
Time is money,
Money talks,
Bartender pour me one more whiskey on the rocks,
while I try to understand, why every man wants to be king.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
Everybody, kicks you when you're down.
Laugh for now, later you can frown.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
With a sweet disposition,
and an iron will,
a couple nice cars, and a house on a hill,
my bank account's full but my soul's still empty and cold.
All the money and the clothes,
and the sold out shows,
don't mean a damn thing when nobody knows you,
and your home is just a house when you're sittin' there alone and you're old.
I heard, love is a game,
I heard love is a rock,
I heard love is a house on a dead end block,
but the ending keeps changin' every time, the story gets told.
Some pray for money,
some pray for rain,
and some are just are just prayin' for relief from the pain,
and some of us'll buy just 'bout anything we can be sold.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
Everybody, kicks you when you're down.
Laugh for now, later you can frown.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
I'm a mean old dog,
got a big old gun,
I'm a proud new papa, I'm an only son,
I'm a beggar I'm a thief I'm a liar and a cheater too.
I've been around the block,
I've been around the sun,
I've been up, I've been down, I've been over and done,
I've seen the bottom of the pile and the mountaintop, either will do.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
Everybody, kicks you when you're down.
Laugh for now, later you can frown.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
