lyrics

Cash is king
and I bow low.
I kiss his ring.
I do what I’m told.

Cash is king.
Cash is king.
We all got stones, but
he owns the sling.

In this glass asylum
he is the sleeping guard
with his hoop of keys
we can’t reach through the bars.

Cash is king.
Cash is king.
We all got stones, but
he owns the sling.
Cash is king.
Cash is king.
We wrote the poems, but
he owns the ink.

Sometimes he takes down to the garden
past the salt and sand pillars.
and he hands us his scissors.
We must cut roses for the killers.

Cash is king.
Cash is king.
We all got stones, but
he owns the sling.
Cash is king.
Cash is king.
We wrote the poems, but
he owns the ink.
