About

The opening track from Kasabian’s 6th full length LP finds the band in braggadocio tone. The song has Tom and Serge embracing a typical rockstar (or king-like) persona, looking down on the life of ordinary folk whilst gloating about the perks of their fame.

Ill Ray (The King) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wow!
You're telling me about this, I tell you about about that
Stop talking shit you walk into another trap
When all the time you know
You know my name, you know my name, you know my name
Just settle down, you're losing the plot
It took you a lifetime to get where you got
If I had it all, I'd be dead in a week
If I had my way, be king for a day

[Verse 2]
Wow!
What's your band called mate? What, what's your band called mate?
I'm sorry, oh I'm sorry, but it's far too late
Trying to start a war
I heard it all before
Now go fetch me a milkshake, don't forget the straw

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Now I don't have the time to listen to this
Don't know by now, then the point you have missed
Look what you've got
It's love that it's not
Don't care what they say, be king for a day, be king for a day

[Chorus]
We got the night, we got the world
Into the future I give you my word
Open your eyes into the light, into the light

[Verse 3]
Wow!
You smell of hotel soap, trying to tell your joke
Over and over just blowing smoke
Industry standard time after time
The higher the mountain, the higher I climb

[Pre-Chorus 2]
What is the point in trying to pretend?
In single file we queue till the end
Look what you've got
It's love that it's not
Don't care what they say, be king for a day, be king for a day
Take all you fuckers and blow you away

[Chorus]
We got the night, we got the world
Into the future I give you my word
Open your eyes into the light, into the light

[Break]
Free from love, free from life
Free from you I'm untouchable
Free from pain, free from ego
Free to rave I am rising
I'm rising up, I'm rising up, I'm rising up, I'm rising

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Wow!
You're telling me about this, I tell you about about that
Stop talking shit you walk into another trap
When all the time you know
You know my name, you know my name, you know my name
Be king for a day, be king for a day

[Chorus]
We got the night, we got the world
Into the future I give you my word
Open your eyes into the light, into the light

[Outro]
King for a day
