lyrics

Lately, your golden crown
Is losing its luster.
Could it be that the crown-makers swindled you,
When they swore it would be
Everything that you were after?

But we'll take your golden throne
And melt it down into
The most lavishly expensive pair of cement shoes
That the world has ever seen.

Singin' "Ohhhh, Oohhh
You'll be worth your weight in gold
When you're sinkin' with it."

Well you've nowhere to hide, and you've
No one to run to.
You took your fire and your fury and you
Burned every bridge you had left,
Now, didn't you?

'Cause Old Nick is callin' now,
He's sayin' the rent's due.
Funny how much friendlier the old man had seemed
At the crossroads, 60 miles south of Moscow.
