Jester of the Century

I've got the privilege The one you'll never have I say all that I want But no one seems to care Close your sacred eyelids Don't let them taste the light If they saw what I beheld They might just end up fried I swear I never stole But all I swear are lies For if I told the truth I'd quickly lose my mind Many say what they see true I never speak such things Rattles from my dungeon chains Will tell you the same Shaking like a fool In the castle of complacency Don't obey your rule The throne is built upon fallacy Kicking like a mule On thatch and thorns your majesty Surfdom living's cruel The jester of the century Capillary action Tears your face and Slaps it out onto the pavement Where it's eaten by the dogs Steady onward Mayhaps we'll arrive by dusk The beetle in my ear Is chirping ever faster Make haste to meet the king This message must get through From the land of reefs They are declaring war But now the crown is weak The people won't obey Untrusted kings can't lead So something must be done And then that very night His subjects took him down But too little came too late And the kingdom burned to the ground Shaking like a fool In the castle of complacency Don't obey your rule The throne is built upon fallacy Kicking like a mule On thatch and thorns your majesty Surfdom living's cruel The jester of the century No more hat tricks leave your Screen on static and Await the slaughter soon your Entertainment will be dead
