Everybody's better than I am

I think everybody's better than me

everybody's swell I guess

they're doing well some more or less

everybody's better than me I think

you know, to be king you don't need a castle

to row, back to shore can sure be a hassle

everybody's acting like I don't matter

everbody's in on the act

too many of them to avoid

it could be that I'm paranoid

I matter as a matter of fact

you know, to be king you don't need a castle

to row, back to shore can sure be a hassle

why you walk around with your head low down

the true kind rules without a crown

if your boat's afloat after the typhoon

row it safely back to the lagoon

and never mind the green grass you won't mow

or what it is you have or don't to show

or what it is you can or can't afford

the good are good without reward

you know, to be king you don't need a castle

to row, back to shore can sure be a hassle....
