Album: Hate Me (2022)

  • The day that you were born they gave a crown to you
    And your whole hometown bows down to you
    Everything you touch is gold
    'Cause no one's ever told you, "No"

    Everything you say starts with an, "I"
    But I'll never hear you say, "I'm sorry"
    'Cause that would be too hard for you
    'Cause that's what normal people do

    You're king of the world, yeah, I said it, mm
    Whatever you want, yeah, you get it, mm
    Guess things look different from the top of the ladder
    You can break a heart like it don't matter
    But you're gonna hate the truth, it hits you when you fall
    You're only king of the world
    'Cause your world is so damn small, mm

    You think you deserve a girl made for royalty
    But all that you can handle is a prom queen
    To serve you with a silver platter
    And make it happy ever after

    You're king of the world, yeah, I said it, mm
    Whatever you want, yeah, you get it, mm
    Guess things look different from the top of the ladder
    You can break a heart like it don't matter
    But you're gonna hate the truth, it hits you when you fall
    You're only king of the world
    'Cause your world is so damn small, mm, mm
    Mm

    So ride that high horse, right on back to Texas
    Where everything is just the way you left it

    You're still king of the world, yeah, I said it
    Whatever you want, yeah, you get it
    Guess things look different from the top of the ladder
    You can break a heart like it don't matter
    But you're gonna hate the truth, it hits you when you fall
    You're only king of the world
    'Cause your world is so damn small, mm
    Mm-mm, mm, you're only king of the world
    'Cause your world is so damn small
