The Rascal King

Well, he was fueled by a lack
Drew inspiration from a need
So many problems to crack
And mouths to feed
Crooked was the path
And brazen was the walk
A cocky swagger, up the ladder
And could he ever talk
The last hurrah-nah
I'd do it again
And the rascal king behind the bars
Or the one in front of them
The last hurrah-nah
I'd do it again
And the rascal king behind the bars
Or the one in front of them
And the love of God
And constant contradictions
With just a smile, wink or nod
Hey, what's stranger fact or fiction?
And never ceasing to amaze
On a regular basis
First hand into his pocket
Or first fist into the faces
And it's the last hurrah-nah
I'd do it again
And it's the rascal king behind the bars
Or the one in front of them
The last hurrah-nah
I'd do it again
And it's the rascal king behind the bars
Or the one in front of them
A legendary character
When? Only then, where? Only there
A hero or a hooligan?
Well, that part's never clear
[Incomprehensible]
Who's innocent or who's to blame?
Politics or just a game?
Well, in the end they knew his name
The last hurrah-nah
I'd do it again
It is the rascal king behind the bars
Or the one in front of them
The last hurrah-nah
I'd do it again
It is the rascal king behind the bars
Or the one in front of them
