I have an old friend,
So the story goes,
He never calls without saying hello,
He's got a good job,
So the story goes,
He says it's it's funny to see you look so low,
I said, I'm on top of the hill,
Looking down at the kings of the western world.
I went out and caught the train home,
Looked at the land so the story goes,
They've got factories and jobs and playground provided,
And the workers are willing, so the story goes,b
But I'm on top of the hill,
Looking down at the kings of the western world.
And people get born,
So the story goes,
And people get schooled,
So the story goes,
And people get on,
So the story goes,
And people get ruled,
So the story goes,
And people they die,
So the story goes,
And left on the hill,
So the story goes,
But I'm on top of the hill,
Looking down at the kings of the western world.
