Against The Odds - Lyrics - Uriah Heep

The character is notable for his cloying humility, obsequiousness, and insincerity, making frequent references to his own "'humbleness". His name has become synonymous with being a yes man. He is the central antagonist of the latter part of the book.

(the way of life that must change) In the court of kings I look around My blood runs cold, I close my eyes Out of my head a vision flows I'll make the rules I need For my survival, for my survival I pull the strings, you take the glory I load the gun, you shoot me down I'm on the edge about to fall Destructive power will make you Lose your mind, use your mind Trapped inside my nightmare You are there As I turn I feel your evil stare We give our life, invest in time To only fools who take controll I spend another cold day in hell Against the odds I fight For my survival, for my survival Your useless life gets crushed Into the ground The time has come To turn it all around
