Lyrics
Who Died and Made You King
(Kevin Bowe/Mick Sterling)
You used to sleep out in the gutter just waiting for another hit
drinking wine right out of the bottle and pissing on the bricks
but now you got religion and God is on your side
and you can tell who's gonna brun in hell and make it to the other side
Chorus:
Who died and made you king there's only room for one and you ain't him
I won't stand in line to kiss your ring so who died and made you king
Some people walk through fire and other ones handle snakes
Well you can shed your skin to hide your sins but that's not all it takes
Chorus:
You don't have to break your back to save me from me from myself
The Lord he made me stumble so he could be there when I fell
Every Time you open your mouth is like the sermon on the mount
You can't even save yourself cause you're just as lost as everyone else
Chorus:
Who died and made you king you ain't no angel so quit flappin your wings
You can steal the crown but your head's too big for that thing
Who died and made you king
