Everyones creeping up to the money god
G       C                  F               G
Putting tongues where they didn't ought to be
G           C         F     C
On stepping stones of human hearts and souls
G        C       F           G
Into the land of nothing for free

C        G        Em       Am
Well the way that we're living
C      G        Em    Am

The loudest mouth will hail the new found way

To be king for a day

Trying to get way up with a smile

Sing for your supper boy and jump to a finger click
G        C      F         G
Ain't my way of living in style

C         G      Em      Am
cause the ladder gets longer
C     G      Em        Am
And ambition gets stronger

I cant satisfy the hunger

That bad old moon has got you in its sway

To be king for a day
