"Kingpin" lyrics

He sat me down
At the edge of his bed
And started to list
All of the things
That I said or did
He didn't agree with
Like I held his gaze for too long
My touch was all wrong, man

What was his deal?
Who does he think he is
The kingpin?

I really wonder why affection
Creeped him out and
Why he bothered inviting me around?
Only just to shoot then
Strike me down, oh
Spare me now

Who will ignore us?
Who will speak for us?
The kingpin
Who's in the corner
Barking his orders?
The kingpin
Whatever you do now
Don't blame yourself
You should blame him
He'll get what he gives out
As soon as I take down
The kingpin

Some other guy, circa forty five
Said I should stop by
He said your numbers have grown
You sell out all your shows
Every single night
But I dressed too drab for his taste
Too larger a waistline

What was his deal?
Who does he think he is?
Another kingpin

I really wonder why perfection
Creeped him out and
Why he bothered inviting me around?
Only just to shoot then
Strike me down, oh
Spare me now

Who will ignore us?
Who will speak for us?
The kingpin
Who's in the corner
Barking his orders?
The kingpin
Whatever you do now
Don't blame yourself
You should blame him
He'll get what he gives out
As soon as I take down
The kingpin

You know you'll never win

Who will ignore us?
Who will speak for us?
The kingpin
Who's in the corner
Barking his orders?
The kingpin
Whatever you do now
Don't blame yourself
You should blame him
He'll get what he gives out
As soon as I take down
The kingpin
You know you'll never win
