Not Even The King

MoneySome people so poor all that they got is moneyOh, and diamondsSome peole waste their lives counting their thousandsI don't care what they're offeringHow much gold they bringThey can't afford what we gotNot even the kingThey can't afford what we gotNot even the kingOh castles, some people so lonely, what good is a castleSurrounded by people, but ain't got a friendThat's not on the payrollI don't care what they bringThey can have everythingThey can't afford what we gotNot even the kingThey can't afford what we gotNot even the kingAll the king's horses and all the king's menCame charging to get what we gotThey offered the crown and they offered the throneBut I already got all that I wantAll the king's horses and all the king's menThey came marching throughThey offer the world just to have what we gotBut I found the world in youI found a world in youSo darling listenYour arms around me worth more than a kingdomYeah, believe thatThat trust that we feel, the kings never felt thatYeah this is the song we singWe don't need anythingThey can't afford thisThis is pricelessThey can't afford what we've gotNot even the kingThey can't afford what we gotNot even the king
