Man Child, No Kingdom

[Verse 1]
Take away your crown and your throne
Strip the logo off your cologne
No black car waiting outside
Just a lost boy pouting in line
[Chorus]
Man child
No kingdom
What you got then
Huh?
When the cards all crumble
And the bills catch up
Man child
No kingdom
Just a tantrum on the floor
You can stamp your feet for hours
Still nobody works for you anymore (oh no)
[Verse 2]
All your friends are yes in a suit
They applaud every time that you brood
But your mirror never claps back
Just reflects that permanent frown you pack
[Chorus]
Man child
No kingdom
What you got then
Huh?
When the cards all crumble
And the bills catch up
Man child
No kingdom
Just a tantrum on the floor
You can scream your list of wishes
Still the world just checks its phone
Gets bored (so bored)
[Bridge]
Underneath that shiny tantrum
Is there anything you like?
Can you pour your own damn coffee
Or just post it online?
If your “baby” stops babysitting
Who’s tucking you in tonight? (hmm?)
[Chorus]
Man child
No kingdom
What you got then
Huh?
When the cards all crumble
And the bills catch up
Man child
No kingdom
Just a tantrum on the floor
You can buy yourself a castle
But you still can’t buy grown-up anymore

pop, Dark pop with a sly grin; tight, bouncy drums and rubbery bass under glossy synth stabs. Female vocals with a smirk in the verse, opening into a chanty, shout-along hook. Stacked harmonies on choruses, tiny sarcastic ad-libs tucked in the gaps. Bridge strips to bass and claps, then final chorus hits brighter and punchier.
