Lyrics

Those lights could be shinin' bright for us and the rest of the boys
We'll own the root of all evil if we don't make any noise

If you're good like all the rest
Kingpin shows you all the best

SIMON SAYS THE KINGPIN
SIMON SAYS THE KINGPIN
YIPPIDY YIPPIDY
SIMON SAYS THE KINGPIN

Keep your eyes your mind shut and your mouth open wide
You'll be singing the blues because of them
While the anger builds up inside
Shinin' your shoes so I can be on top
But I just wanna flip you off
Cuz if you let me show expression
You'll be makin' a confession

FOINDIDIHOINDIDIFOINDIDIHOINDIDIHOINDIDI

You can reap the riches and be on your rockin' way
But if you wanna show what's in your heart
The big shot will put you in your grave
But if you wanna be good like all the rest
Kingpin shows you all the best

(Repeat chorus)
