You Got the Throne

Tuesday, 02 November 2010 10:48 Written by  Priya A. Shah

He sits in his throne

And drinks his wine

He looks in the mirror

And repeats this line

“Damn I’m fine”

He sits in his throne

And drinks his wine

He looks in the mirror

And repeats this line

“Damn I’m fine”

But he’s way in over his head

As those words are only said

His appearance can only get him so far

He sits in his throne

Smoking his cigar

And playing his guitar

Thinking he’s raw

Not aware of breaking every rule, every law

But this perfect guy, sitting in his throne has many flaws

Written all over his face

Never on time, always late

Reality check for him

He needs to check himself within

Get off your throne

Check your tone

Just don’t sit at home

Have meaning in your name

But all I know you as is

Boy who sits in his throne

Who will always end up alone…
