The All-American Rejects - King Kong Lyrics

The All-American Rejects Lyrics

"King Kong"

You'll always be around to let me down
You'll always be around to let me down

I've been running 'round with the same old crowd for too long
It's too late for me
I don't feel a thing anymore, I'm a zombie
I don't even bleed
I'm cutting my hair, changing my name
Packing my bags, moving out of state
Hearing great things about the Midwest
I'm gonna get blessed, god help me

You'll always be around to let me down
You'll always be around to let me down
You'll always be around, to let me down
You'll always be around to let me down

Now I'm shaking, shaking in my shackles
Listening to it rattle, playing me like King Kong
The earth's quaking, quaking all around me
But still you can surround me
Praying for kingdom come
I'm no gorilla, don't you trap me in a thrilla'
You wanna play my Godzilla?
You better bite down hard

I'm cutting my hair, changing my name
Packing my bags, moving out of state
Cutting my hair, changing my name
Packing my bags, moving out of state
I'm cutting my hair, changing my name
Packing my bags, moving out of state
Cutting my hair, changing my name
Packing my bags, moving out of state
Now you're shaking, shaking in my shackles
Listening to it rattle, playing me like King Kong

You'll always be around to let me down
You'll always be around to let me down
You'll always be around to let me down
You'll always be around to let me down
