Kingpin Songtext
von Litany

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!

You know he'll never win

Who will ignore us?
Who will speak for us?
The kingpin! (ohh)

Who′s in the corner
Barking his orders?
The kingpin! (kingpin)

Whatever you do now
Don't blame yourself
You should blame him! (blame him)

He′ll get what he gives out
As soon as I take down
The kingpin!

You know he'll never win
