"The Lyin' King" lyrics

Someday I will recover from the pain that I've gone through
They say this was my chance to come alive and start anew
I've gotta prove I'm tame like a lion in a cage
Cause my nature is wild and that's not gonna change
I can barely wash all this dirt off my face
I'm a disgrace

And all this could take some time
Everything's gonna be alright
Until then I'm alive

Enjoy democracy till it's done
Don't fear, in the end it's worth the trouble
Meanwhile you better calm down

My hands can touch the ceiling when I'm lying on the floor
I planned to move out once I got what I'm still waiting for
I promised to dance in their circus ring
Almost blind from the lights and I can't see a thing
And as Charles D. said it's a game you can't win
Not a chance without the blue blood within

I'd do it all again
I'd do it one more time
As long as it brings me far away
I'll never give up trying
To live a humane life
But living's pretty hard today
