King in the Jester’s Court
A dull frustration sets in
Why not me instead of him
My genius overshadowed by that of a fool’s
I’m a King in a Jester’s court
Where it’s the Jester that rules
I’m a sailor on a ship
Where the captain’s a fool
Not on a ship of fools, but on a fool’s ship
Smooth sailing to insanity, the world’s shortest trip
But he’s the genius
A true creative genius
And while my ego stands trial
I’m in convenient denial
As the King in the Jester’s court
I hide my jealousy behind a plastic smile
As the King in the Jester’s court
I’m only kidding myself; it’s been me all the while
I am the Jester in the King’s court
Finding it difficult to accept in style
