Legz Diamond & The Purple Gang - Top of the World [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Look Ma, I’m on top of the world looking down
Are you proud of me now?
So I have to wear this thorny crown
I don’t care, you can’t hurt me now

You say you don’t know what’s become of me
When we grew up in poverty
I couldn’t get a real job
So the liquor store got robbed

But look Ma, I’m on top of the world looking down
Are you proud of me now?
So I have to wear this thorny crown
I don’t care, you can’t hurt me now

I came up the hard way
Did some time then you were ok
But now its like your scared of me
Said I got the devil in me

But Look Ma, I’m on top of the world looking down
Are you proud of me now?
So I have to wear this thorny crown
I don’t care, you can’t hurt me now

I don’t ever hear from you
A Christmas card a year or two
You never let me buy you anything
You said all my money is blood stained

But look Ma, I’m on top of the world looking down
Are you proud of me now?
So I have to wear this thorny crown
I don’t care, you can’t hurt me now

I came up the hard way
Had to hustle every damn day
You know I never had a real home
There’s nothing left in me to reform

So look Ma, I’m on top of the world looking down
Are you proud of me now?
So I have to wear this thorny crown
I don’t care, you can’t hurt me now

Ask your priest to say a prayer for me
Cause someday soon you’ll be rid of me
And I’ll go out the hard way
I get tested every single day

Just look Ma, I’m on top of the world looking down
Are you proud of me now?
So I have to wear this thorny crown
I don’t care, you can’t hurt me now
I don’t care, you can’t hurt me now
