The Rascal King

Well, he was fueled by a lack

Drew inspiration from a need

So many problems to crack

And mouths to feed

Crooked was the path

And brazen was the walk

A cocky swagger, up the ladder

And could he ever talk

The last hurrah-nah

I'd do it again

And the rascal king behind the bars

Or the one in front of them

The last hurrah-nah

I'd do it again

And the rascal king behind the bars

Or the one in front of them

And the love of God

And constant contradictions

With just a smile, wink or nod

Hey, what's stranger fact or fiction?

And never ceasing to amaze

On a regular basis

First hand into his pocket

Or first fist into the faces

And it's the last hurrah-nah

I'd do it again

And it's the rascal king behind the bars

Or the one in front of them

The last hurrah-nah

I'd do it again

And it's the rascal king behind the bars

Or the one in front of them

A legendary character

When? Only then, where? Only there

A hero or a hooligan?

Well, that part's never clear

[Incomprehensible]

Who's innocent or who's to blame?

Politics or just a game?

Well, in the end they knew his name

The last hurrah-nah

I'd do it again

It is the rascal king behind the bars

Or the one in front of them

The last hurrah-nah

I'd do it again

It is the rascal king behind the bars

Or the one in front of them
