This could be redone with some one sticking to their principles and not backing down even when deserted.

The Cheese stands alone

Verse

You fight half your life to get to the top.

Find there’s only more trouble there.

Your so-called friends all want what you’ve worked for.

Hang about and expect you to share.

Pre chorus

Good time Charlies and fair-weather friends are

Nowhere to be found when the party ends.

Chorus 2x

When you’re king, when you’re king of the hill.

The cheese stands alone.

Verse

They tell you what they think you want to hear.

You can’t find them when trouble comes.

When there’s a fight to be fought you can bet.

They’re all thinking bout number one.

Verse

That girl who swears she loves you for you.

Will leave when the money goes dry.

When you look like a million dollars.

You can find another rich guy.

Pre chorus

Good time Charlies and fair-weather friends are

Nowhere to be found when the party ends.

Chorus 2x

When you’re king, when you’re king of the hill.

The cheese stands alone.

Verse

When moneys not earned it’s easy to burn.

And fair-weather friends come and go.

When you’re king of the hill, king of the hill.

In the end the cheese stands alone.

Pre chorus

Good time Charlies and fair-weather friends are

Nowhere to be found when the party ends.

Chorus 2x

When you’re king, when you’re king of the hill.

The cheese stands alone.
