The King of Nothing

it's no longer a mystery...i found out today
i'm less than nothing...and that's how it will stay
look up and look over me...while i look down
you wear a smile...but i see a frown

and if there were to be a king
of this realm i know...if i know a thing
i should be the one at the the top
the top of the bottom is where the buck stops
and i'll be the king of nothing

so put on your dress clothes...and smile a fake smile
for those at the bottom...who are too tired to try
they'll never know it...you know that it's true
they don't aspire...to be someone like you

and if there were to be a king
of this realm i know...if i know a thing
i should be the one at the the top
the top of the bottom is where the buck stops
and i'll be the king of nothing

(bridge)
here with forgotten people
here with with their trampled dreams
i'll be the king of nothing
where nothing is everything

it's no longer a mystery...i found out today
i'm less than nothing...and that's how it will stay
look up and look over me...while i look down
you wear a smile...but i see a frown

and i'll be the king of nothing
i'll be the king of nothing
