i cut the wings off an angel's butterfly, hope she cries for you and i life is hard do or die ain't got nothing left it's hot as hell today, pray oh mum, what has become of the evergreen? dear dad, don't be so sad it's the way it's to be it's like we took too much
i kissed the ring from a preacher's bible hand, nice and tanned "forgiven son" setting on a plot of land that i stole from uncle sam's mighty plan to burn us all oh mum, what has become of the evergreen? dear dad, don't be so sad it's the way it's to be it's like we took too much took too much took too much
go out, make love to your wife and behold you are free oh yeah you're king of the world 'til you burn like us all like me, yeah oh yeah you're king of the world 'til you're broken at heart oh yeah you're king of the world 'til the next one is born oh yeah you're king of the world 'til you're broken at heart you're king of the world 'til the next one is born
