I looked up to you until you got the attitude My friends looked up to me, I was a karate dude I kick and I punch and I block and I strike, I do almost anything But that makes me incompetent, you are the Karate King Hurt me once more I like that Push me down on to the mat Gouge my eyes now I can't see Karate King has come for me [Chorus] And we all say "Hey man, today!, What the hell is wrong with you? Would you do what I say, for what I say is always true If you can get your black belt you just might be as good as me" God save the King, God save the King When I first joined the school I didn't know what I was getting into, I wanted to quit But my concience said: "Stay in, stay in!" and now I've completely had it
With this macho attitude, why the hell do you think you're so good? Maybe you should seek some help, comon, I think you should Pick me up then throw me down Take a fight onto the ground You're having fun as I can see But I must admit you're no Bruce Lee [Chorus] Why must you be so dishonest? Why must I act upon it? Why does it get on my nerves? And I still stay! Punch me harder, that feels great Kick my head, trigger my hate My body's bruised, arm's in a sling Go to Hell, Karate King [Chorus] Hey man, today!, Oh, I am done with you I won't do what you say, what you say reflects on you And I'll never get a black belt, in my heart, I have earned the WORLD God Save the King.
