The best yet

Mike was right when he said I'd put up 
A fight to be someone, a fight to be me 
But see now, I'm down 
Under the pavement 
Of Capitals hills and lowercase people 
As time rolls by my dreams have 
become 
That which is attainable 
Now what I'm looking for! 


I've got the company car 
I'm the one swinging at two below par 
Yeah, I've become one with the ones 
That I've never believed in 
But I've got the company car 


(Hey)I'm the king of things I've always 
despised 
I'm the gingerbread man 
Who got eaten alive 
I'm half baked! I'm fake! 
But see I've got hotels on 
Park Place and Boardwalk 
And two hundred bucks 
I pass go but, oh! Life's taken it's toll 
Have I won monopoly to forfeit my soul? 


All the kings horses 
At the foot of the wall 
They're taking pictures of 
The man who's last all of his 
Masks of pretension 
He's got two faces left 
His is the one that he hides 
On the left behind that smile 


Hiding tears and fear 
That burn like an engine 
It drives him away 
From the ones that he loves 
Mike was right: 
"Hey Mike! We're one and the same; 
We're the faceless combatants in the 
loneliest game" 
Ah but say, I'll wave as I'm driving by 
With that smirk in my eye, yelling 
"Hey, I'm something man, check me 
out!"
