Everlast - The Crown

With a soft underbelly And a hardened heart They say you've got to be tough If you ain't that smart I'm sitting here alone Waiting for my phone to ring Run out of time Run out of hope The boys on the corner never run out of dope I keep myself high So I can keep doing my thing They say "Stupid is as stupid does And everything's the same as it ever was" I drink myself blind Trying to find a new song to sing Time is money, And 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 (wears the crown) Everybody kicks you when you're down (when you're down) Laugh for now; later you can frown (you can frown) Heavy is the head that wears the crown (wears the crown) With a sweet disposition And an iron will A couple nice cars And a house on a hill my back account's full But my soul is 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 sitting there alone and you're old I heard love is a game I heard love is a rock And I heard love is a house on a dead end block But the ending keeps changing every time that the story gets told Some pray for money Some pray for rain And some are just praying for relief from the pain But some of us will buy Just about anything we can be sold Heavy is the head that wears the crown (wears the crown) Everybody kicks you when you're down (when you're down) Laugh for now; later you can frown (you can frown) Heavy is the head that wears the crown (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 mountain top Either will do Heavy is the head that wears the crown (wears the crown) Everybody kicks you when you're down (when you're down) Laugh for now; later you can frown (you can frown) Heavy is the head that wears the crown (wears the crown)
