Lyrics

King of Nothing

Can you excuse me for a moment?
That boy's my son, my green eyed father
I loved him 'cause he is my brother
'Cause he's a brother
Guess that don't mean much
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lala
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-lala
You're the king of nothing at all
You Huel-fueled diet fake tan fucker
You say you love women but you only love your mother
You ten pound haircut
A DM a-diver
Whatsapp wanker, Fight Club lover
Tell the world and your mother- oof
Sparkled so bright that I went blind
So when I heard, I lost my mind
He stripped the paint from my wallpaper
He was my brother, now who can I trust?
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lala
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-lala
You're the king of nothing at all
You Huel-fueled diet fake tan fucker
You say you love women but you only love your mother
You serial vapist
A DM a-diver
Whatsapp wanker, Fight Club lover
Tell the world and your mother- oof
King of nothing at all, king of nothing at all
You're the king of nothing at all
You're the king of nothing at all
You're the king of nothing at all
You're the king of nothing at all
