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

Who will ignore us?

Who will speak for us?

The kingpin (ohh)

Who's in the corner

Barking his orders?

The kingpin (yeah, yeah)

Whatever you do now

Don't blame yourself

You should blame him (blame him, ohh)

He'll get what he gives out

As soon as I take down

The kingpin

You know you'll never win
