No man's a jester
playin' Shakespeare
'Round your throne room floor
While the juggler's act
is danced upon
The crown that you once wore
And sooner or later
Everybody's kingdom
must end
And I'm so afraid
your courtiers
cannot be called best friends
Caesar's had your troubles
Widows had to cry
While mercenaries in
cloisters sing
And the king must die
Some men are better
slayin' sailors
Take my word and go
But tell the ostler that
his name was
the very first they chose
And if my hands are
stained forever
And the altar should
refuse me yeah
Would you let me in
Would you let me in
Would you let me in
Should I cry sanctuary
Caesar's had your troubles
Widows had to cry
While mercenaries in
cloisters sing
And the king must die
Yeah the king must die
The king must die
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah
No man's a jester
playin' Shakespeare
'Round your throne room floor
While the juggler's act
is danced upon
The crown that you once wore
The king is dead
The king is dead
The king is dead
The king is dead
Long live the king
