They sold Graceland when Elvis' aunt, who was living upstairs, died. I got mad, as I usually do when things change, and I wrote this song.
-C.R.
lyrics
Somebody stole Graceland
Somebody made the King a man
What's this world comin' to?
I think it's comin' down to no man's land
He don't need his hair spray
He don't need no throne
the King flew to Heaven
Through a hole he burned in the ozone
There's only the cologne he used to wear
Floating around world-wide in the air
I breathe, no fair, I grieve, I swear....
The King is comin' back, so say your prayers.
"Don't be cruel, don't treat me like a fool
Didn't I define 'cool'
and now you come and steal all my family jewels?
No! I won't let you walk on my name!
No, I won't let you bring my family shame
you think it's a game
don't make me come down there, again...
I'll cause you pain."
