King of MissionsYou have seen me out in the rain Out in the parking lot I don't want too much from you Just everything you've got My name means nothing to you It's one you can't recall When I come to collect my debt I will collect it all I have no friends to speak of Just some people that I know Some want to hang around But I'd just as soon they go I know how to work this deal They just get in my way One has a chance to make it Two or more get blown away Living is a noble cause In this world today We started out with aspirations But ended up this way You in your fancy townhouse Me in this cardboard shack Who is it that takes it all And who must give it back So when you lie down to sleep Lock your doors and windows tight Try not to listen to my voice That calls to you late at night I am the King of Missions I am the ruler of all I can see I don't know who's in charge here But I know it ain't you or me So when you see me again Don't you dare shake your head Cause but for the grace of something It could be you here instead I am the King of Missions My kingdom is my life I have ruled with napalm M-16s and surgical strikes You have seen me on the news Out on the front lines I don't want too much from you I just want what is mine Copyright Kent Newsome and Ronnie Jeffrey All Rights Reserved |
