Everybody's better than I am
I think everybody's better than me
And everybody's swell I guess

They're doing well some more or less
Everybody's better than I am I think
You know to be king you don't need a castle

To row back to shore can sure be a hassle
Why you walk around with your head low down
Everybody's acting like I don't matter

Everybody's into the act
Too many of them to avoid
It could be that I'm paranoid

I matter as a matter of fact
And you know to be king you don't need a castle
To row back to shore can sure be a hassle


Why you walk around with your head low down
The true king rules without a crown

If your boat's afloat after the typhoon
Row it safely back to the lagoon
And nevermind the green grass you won't mow

Or what it is you have or don't to show
Or what it is you can or can't afford
The good are good without reward

You know to be king you don't need a castle
To row back to shore can sure be a hassle
Why you walk around with your head low down

Everybody's better than I am
I think everybody's better than me
And everybody's swell I guess

They're doing well some more or less
Everybody's better than I am I think
Everybody's acting like I don't matter

Everybody's into the act
Too many of them to avoid
It could be that I'm paranoid

I matter as a matter of fact
And you know to be king you don't need a castle
No no! No No! No no no no

To row back to shore can sure be a hassle
You know to be king you don't need a cast
