King Of The Rotten

If I was the king of all the rotten
Stealing filth from those forgetten
Would you be my queen of a desperate land?
Do you give a damn?

What if I had to scold you?
Listen once tried and true
What if I had to trade you for another man?
Do you think I can?

I won't call on the angels no
Beating on the line as I turn to amputate
I'm bleeding on you

What if you were torn in two?
What if I wanted to be like you?
What if I were high, like an aeroplane?
Would you look at me the same?

I won't call on the angels no
Beating on the line as I turn to amputate
I'm bleeding on you

If we walked side by side
Would you stab my back and kill my pride?
Would you fall ahead, or would you move behind?
Tell me words unkind?

Now if I was the king of all the rotten
Stealing filth from those forgotten
Would you be my queen of this desperate land?
Do you think I give a damn?

I won't call on the angels no
Beating on the line as I turn to amputate
I'm bleeding on you
