Song Lyrics

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
