Little King

By Robbie Fulks 7/29/2010 G D G Well it's a vile world but that's all right Em F C G Long as the little king's alive D G In a day of shifting styles Em D C G His damage will last awhile C Dizzy in a fever of muscle and chrome G This jerkwater town burned like Rome A7 Truckled to the torch of one savage kid C D That's how to rule, that's how to live Chorus: G D C D When you're old and not so clever G D C D When you're dragging your ghost around G D C D These wild years won't last forever G Em D G This kingdom comes right down! Little King had a Midas hand Anything he touched turned yellow and ran Rebel boys, half-witted and brave Felt lucky to follow and slave And from the back of his eyes, some demon sprung Made young men wanna touch bottles and guns Make Pleistocene creatures of Mom and Dad Twice more kick than your real kings had It's a vile world, but that's O.K. That's where the smart bucks are today Tortoise shells and a wedding ring So much for the "little king." But, see that hilltop, gutted and bare 15 years back a King walked there Now some half-wit hellspawn's gonna take his turn That's how to crash, that's how to burn
