Top of the World Songtext
von The All‐American Rejects

Is there anybody out there
That wakes up with a bitter taste?
It′s a king that we put up there
And he's a short way to fall from grace

It′s slowly filling upward
You can stand but you have no ground
I hear it from the lost words
They say, "It's time that you lost your crown"

Don't be so greedy
A dollar′s a penny to you
When hearts are beating
Say what you want ′em to do

Wasting away, I see you
When the top of the world falls on you
Fighting the day, don't wanna be you
When the top of the world falls on you


Is there anybody out there
That can see what a man can change?
It′s better that you don't care
Because he knows that he′s in his state

I feel the paranoia
When there's a time, put you in your place
In the eyes of those who watch ya
Well, they can′t wait 'til you hit your face

Don't be (don′t be) so greedy (greedy)
A dollar′s a penny to you
When hearts (hearts are) are beating
Say what you want 'em to do

Wasting away, I see you
When the top of the world falls on you
Fighting the day, don′t wanna be you
When the top of the world falls on you

Paint yourself a picture
When you waste another picture
And you win, and you win
And you win


Paint yourself a picture
And then you break another picture
And you win, and you win
And you win

And you win, yeah, you win
And you win

Don't be so greedy
A dollar′s a penny to you
When hearts stop beating
Say what you want 'em to do

Wasting away, I see you
When the top of the world falls on you
Fighting the day, don′t wanna be you
When the top of the world falls on you

Wasting away (don't be) I see you
When the top of the world (greedy) falls on you
When fighting the day, don't (don′t) wanna be you (be you)
When the top of the world falls on you
