[Verse 1]
The king sits all alone
With his head down on the throne
And he's cryin'
The court had stood him up
Until they've had, had enough
And he's cryin'

[Pre-Chorus]
His simple trick of rhetoric
Like blood from a finger with a little prick
The hanging scroll sits on a stick
And he's cryin'

[Chorus]
So call up your money maker (Call up your money maker)
And maybe he'll find a taker (Maybe he'll find a taker)
It'll take a lot to break him
Just give him time to break

[Verse 2]
The words can fuel the fire
And pretty soon they'll turn to ash
From his cryin'
You're only foolin' yourself
If you think it's gonna last
From he's cryin'
[Refrain]
And thеre will come a day when thеy
They all pass away then
Who is gonna star
In your one act play?

[Chorus]
So call up your money maker (Call up your money maker)
And maybe he'll find a taker (Maybe he'll find a taker)
It'll take a lot to break him
Just give him time to break

[Bridge]
Oh, yeah
Ooh, they'll break
All in all this puppet's on a string (Ooh, a string)
Everything you read is gonna sting (Sting)
No matter what, the king is gonna sing (Sing), sing away
Woah

[Outro]
It'll take a lot to break him
Yeah, just leave him alone (It'll take a lot to break him)
It'll take a lot to break him (It'll take a lot to break him)
It'll take a lot to break him (It'll take a lot to break him)
Just leave him alone, ooh, give him time
Just leave him alone
