If you know Sting's "King of Pain", maybe you help me out here.

Newt's SuperPac movie is titled 'King of Bain'
Here's what I've so far:-

There's a little pink slip in the the mail today
(that's my job lost there)

It's the same steel mill but it's closed today
(that's our town gone there)

There's vultures perched on the high tree tops
(that's the banks up there.)

And a black limoscene that is speeding off
(that's our pensions there)

'... Guess I'll always be King of Bain'

Suggestions welcome.

1. 'There's the weight of loss on a Huntsman's back'

LOL. I was thinking of this song earlier, since 'huntsman' is used in the lyrics.

BTW, the proper title would be The Police's 'King of Pain.' Sting wrote it, but it was performed by the Police and released on a Police album.

2. Addendum

There's a king on a throne with his eyes cashed out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a veteran choking on a crust of bread

But surely there can be some way to insert

It's the same old thing as yesterday

3. Here's a little chorus:

I'll stand here and claim that I can feel your pain
but when push comes to shove I'll leave you in the rain.
Seems like I alway show when you go down the drain.
'Cause it's my destiny to be the King of Bain...

4. Love it - thanks

5. Show us the finished product when you're done.

6. I'm going to put some work into this one and post a video on YouTube

unless Newt beats me to it. His movie should provide some good clips, and there's plenty of other material:



You now own one less share in the United States of America

7. Because I'm bored...

8. And here I've been trying to come up with new lyrics for "The Rain in Spain"

AKA "I think she's got it" from My Fair Lady.
