John Zorn - The Ballad Of Hank Mccain lyrics

No one knows better than the king Life's a filthy dirty game Very very hard to win No one knows better than the king How to disregard the pain Never, never let it in No one knows better than the king That an angry man goes blind Knocks his head against the wall No one knows better than the king How it hurts a man to fight That he's human after all No one knows better than the king What a desperate man may do When it gets too hard to bear No one knows better than the king How to spit on the taboos As they thought he'd never dare No one knew better than the king How to care for number one How to take and never give No one knew better than the king That when all is said and done That's the only way to live No one knew better than the king Just how angry you can be When they cage you in with laws No one knew better than the king That a man who thinks he's free Knocks his head against a wall No one knew better than the king Just how bitter it would be To be beaten after all No one knew better than the king They're the ones who fix the game They're the ones with loaded dice No one knew better than the king That they'd get him all the same And they made him pay the price
