Corrosion of Conformity King of the Rotten

If I was the king
Of all the rotten
Stealing filth
From those forgetten
Would you be my queen
Of a desperate land?
Do you give a damn?

What if I had to scold you?
Listen once tried and true
What if I had to trade you
For another man?
Do you think I can?

I won't call on the angels no
Beating on the line
As I turn to amputate
I'm bleeding on you

What if you were torn in two?
What if I wanted to be like you?
What if I were high, like an aeroplane?
Would you look at me the same?

I won't call on the angels no
Beating on the line
As I turn to amputate
I'm bleeding on you

-Solo-

If we walked side by side
Would you stab my back
And kill my pride?
Would you fall ahead
Or would you move behind?
Tell me words unkind?

Now if I was the king
Of all the rotten
Stealing filth
From those forgotten
Would you be my queen
Of this desperate land?
Do you think I give a damn?

I won't call on the angels no
Beating on the line
As I turn to amputate
I'm bleeding on you
