Kings of the Western World Lyrics

I have an old friend, so the story goes
He never calls without saying hello
He's got a good job, so the story goes
He says, "It's funny to see you look so low"I said, "I'm on top of the hill
Looking down at the kings of the western world"I went out and caught the train home
Looked at the land, so the story goes
They've got factories and jobs and playgrounds provided
And the workers are willing, so the story goesBut I'm on top of the hill
Looking down at the kings of the western world
The western worldThey're sayin'And people get born, so the story goes
People get schooled, so the story goes
And people get on, so the story goes
And people get ruled, so the story goes
And people they die, so the story goes
And left on the hill, so the story goesBut I'm on top of the hill
Looking down at the kings of the western world
The western worldI'm looking at the kings
I'm looking at the world

I'm looking at the kingsI'm looking at the kings
I'm looking at the world
I'm looking at the kings
I'm looking at the worldI'm looking at the kings
I'm looking at the world
I'm looking at the kings
I'm looking at the world
