Vegas passing before his eyes
Gambling away the American Dream
Criminality money machine
Bright lights hiding desperation
Poverty, misadventure
Elvis sighs and closes his eyes
Can't allow it to get inside
Making money the only choice
Just ignore the inner voice
Elvis sitting in his Rolls Royce
Gonna be one long road trip
Sitting here with The King
Isolated from real life
Elvis sitting in his Rolls Royce
Elvis sitting in his Rolls Royce
Detroit passing before his eyes
Shells of houses, nightmare scene
Fentanyl zombies, silent scream
Unemployment and misery
Gangland murders on the street
Elvis closes his eyes in prayer
";Satan's handiwork everywhere";
Making money, getting fame
Barbiturates block out the pain
Elvis sitting in his Rolls Royce
";Get me another cheeseburger, get me some drugs
Get me a teenage fanclub to simulate love";
Addicted to the fantasy lifestyle
Feed the ever-growing trashpile
All around me everything is tumbling down
Elvis sitting in his Rolls Royce
New York City opening his eyes
Familiar places gentrified
Neighbourhoods got sterilised
Where are all the streetwise faces?
Just rich old men full of hatred
Elvis looks down, hides his eyes
Don't want his fans to see him cry
History gone and culture bulldozed
There's no profit in the no-marks
Elvis sitting in his Rolls Royce
