King For A Day Lyrics - Jesse Flood

King for a day 

Defender of the faith 

Never held in check 

I'm king for a day 

People think they can read me 

I'm an encyclopedia, you better start at the beginning 

I was king for a day when the revolution started 

And the old guard saw the enemy at the gates and said 

"You wanna wear the crown?" 

King for a day 

Defender of the faith 

Never held in check 

I'm king for a day 

When people keep doing things to you 

Because they want you dead and you go on living 

You'll just look like death 

A sense of community, more like a mob mentality 

When in Rome? Well we're not in Rome 

But you'd see fit to throw me to the lions 

I got a bone to pick, not an ax to grind 

But it's the world against me, not me against the world 

There's a difference 

King for a day 

Defender of the faith 

Never held in check 

I'm king for a day 

Clinically, they'd say I was a psychopath 

But that path was paved with many an injustice 

I'm on the war path and you put me there 

I am not the one 

You think I'm the one? I'll be the last one 

When I came I didn't set the world on fire 

And when I left it didn't stop the world from turning
