lyrics

‘Heartbroken (the lion’s awake)’

A small mind, but a very big head.
Professing words you can barely spell.
No you’re not worthy of a song.
Guess I liked you more than you like yourself.
And don’t play stupid - it’s a perfect fit.
You’ve got where you are on coattails, that’s your way.

(But) Get ready to be heartbroken.
Get ready for your kingdom coming crashing down.
Get ready to be passed over, get the cold shoulder.t
When they disown you, yeah - any moment now.

Ooh, Yours ain’t no easy life.
Ooh, You’re the benefit of the doubt.
Ooh, now please just close your mouth.
Ooh, And you’re still hanging out – out to dry.

Your whining couplets won’t save you now.
Everyone you’ve soiled and even more you’ve used.
Amazed at your own cleverness!
I thought of you – so I wrote your song.
You won’t like it, ‘cos you’ll think it’s wrong.
It tells of what will come along.

(So) Get ready to be heartbroken.
Get ready for your kingdom coming crashing down.
Get ready to be passed over, get the cold shoulder.
When they disown you, yeah - any moment now.
