He was the leader of a small gang Commiting crimes each day But time has changed where he was proud It's a far away He took living easy, his bad reputation Oh it was known all around But he didn't care no, he made dirty money Now he is down and out Thought he knew the tricks of life Prowling in the dark Now he's left by all his friends 'Cause he lived apart, of them He was a leader, malicious and violent His fame is covered with blood Now he's just a number, he lost all his power The king has lost his face Down down down, though the king lost his crown Caught and sentenced, he was guilty Down down down, though the king lost his crown It's too late - far too high Late far too high
