There's a gun aimed at your head Loaded with all that you said One false move and bang you're dead The machine that drove you here Is getting difficult to steer In reverse and high gear From the TV to the tabloids From the radio to the grave From the headlines to the red line You've been crowned king for a day Crucified yourself again All you've got is one free hand Let us help you nail it in We all want to see the crash Slowing down as we drive past You're not the first, you're not the last From a leader to a loser From a master to a slave From a hero to a zero You've been crowned king for a day
