the crown prince
His father was a Princeton lawyer A man of means His mother summa-cum-laude Former beauty queen With a house as big as a hotel On Spencer boulevard That's where he got his start  Eighteen years of summer camp 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 crowned prince When it all hits home You can't hide behind the wall Around the throne  The real world's not a playground It's a danger zone You find out who you really are When the pressures 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 quite there He hears the flowers bloom He's got a private room  It's hard to be the crowned prince When it all hits home You can't hide behind the wall Around the throne  Insanity is a state of mind Where life begins Or where it ends It all depends
