King for a Day - Poster Children

There’s a gun aimed at your head

Loaded with all that you said

One false move and bang you’re dead

The machine that drove you here

Is getting difficult to steer

In reverse and high gear

From the TV to the tabloids

From the radio to the grave

From the headlines to the red line

You’ve been crowned king for a day

Crucified yourself again

All you’ve got is one free hand

Let us help you nail it in

We all want to see the crash

Slowing down as we drive past

You’re not the first, you’re not the last

From a leader to a loser

From a master to a slave

From a hero to a zero

You’ve been crowned king for a day
