Jefferson Starship - Devil's Den Lyrics
There is no color in the kingAnd he is softer than the queenConfusion reigns, sometimes it reigns.Now a colored sky never makes anybody cryBut a grey cloud always makes it rain, sometimes it rains.He only has the moves of a knightBut he wants the absolute freedom of a queenToo bad the only money hes got is coming inColored american green.You know its worthless paper you can spend or saveGo ahead and count that by yourself but look outSomebodys lookingYoure supposed to do that by yourself - count itHe says hes not doing anything wrong he thinksHes just another part of the royal storyBut does it always have to start that wayAlways ending somedayWith no mans warning.Dont talk back, some ruler says, or everythingYou need will go awayEvery answer you think youve ever said is just a guessAnd the king of clocks just slowly locks up every day.Clocks strikes damn near perfect at nightBut it moves so slow in the morning lightKing says a crown doesnt make the manBut we all know, yes we all know, he thinks hes born to glory.Until he dies by the devine right of kingsNo one down here wants to give that man any golden wingsAnd man must fly, man must flyIs that grey man saneNo color, no name.
