King Of The Heap Lyrics - Odds

There was bread 

Now it's crumbs 

Inside each head 

There's a piece that's small and dumb 

When some thing's big and beautiful 

Give it time 

I'll make it small and dirty 

Just to make it mine 

I'll make it mine 

I'll be king of the heap 

I'll make it mine 

I'll be king of the heap 

There were pools 

Now they're murk 

Gold dust in mud 

And now all our play is work 

Aggression is on every lip 

Like stones on violins 

Losing is the end result 

Of far too many wins 

I'll make it mine 

I'll be king of the heap 

I'll make it mine 

I'll be king of the heap 

It's bulldozing time 

While you're asleep 

I'll make it mine 

I'll be king of the heap 

Turn the wheel 

Breathe the blackened sky 

Hollow out 

And suck the marrow dry 

Now it's gone 

Hey, them there hills 

Will soon be holes 

I will wear them down 

With files of gain and greed and goals 

Under grass and rocks and dirt 

It's warm inside the earth 

That is where I'm going 

I'm gonna pack it in my purse 

And make it mine 

I'll be king of the heap 

I'll make it mine 

I'll be king of the heap 

It's bulldozing time 

While you're asleep 

I'll make it mine 

I'll be king of the heap 

(I'll make it mine) 

Turn the wheel 

Turn the wheel 

(I'll make it mine) 

Breathe the blackened sky 

Turn the wheel 

Turn it, turn the wheel
