The Crown Prince

His father was a Princeton lawyer
A man of means
His mother [Incomprehensible]
Former beauty queen

A house as big as a hotel
Or expensive boulevard
That's where he got his start

Eighteen years of summer camps and private schools
All American golden boy with a silver spoon
His future held all the promise of a president
Wonder where it went

It's hard to be the Crown Prince
When it all hits home
You can't hide behind the walls
Around the throne

The real world's not a playground
It's a danger zone
You find out who you really are
When the pressure's on

He's the first one in his family
To wind up second best
He couldn't pass the test

His share of the fortune
Spent on saving face
His family comes to visit on the holidays
Sometimes it's so quiet there
He hears the flowers bloom
He's got a private room

It's hard to be the Crown Prince
When it all hits home
You can't hide behind the walls
Around the throne

Sanity is a state of mind
Where life begins
Or where it ends
It all depends
