Not Even The King

Money
Some people so poor all that they got is money
Ohh and diamonds
Some people waste their life counting their thousands

I don't care what they're offering
How much gold they bring
They can't afford what we got, not even the king
They can't afford what we got, not even the king

Ohhh castles
Some people so lonely, what good is a castle
Surrounded by people
But ain't got a friend, that's not on the payroll

Ohh and I don't care what they bring
They can have everything
They can't afford what we got, not even the king
They can't afford what we got, not even the king

All the king's horses and all the king's men
Came charging to get what we got
They offered the crown and they offered the throne
I already got all that I want

All the king's horses and all the king's men
They came marching through
They offer the world just to have what we got
But I found the world in you
I found the world in you

So darling listen
Your arms around me worth more than a kingdom
Yeah, believe that
The trust that we feel, the kings never felt that

Yeah this is the song we sing
We don't need anything
They can't afford this, this is priceless
They can't afford what we got, not even the king
Can't afford what we got, not even the king
