Verse 1
D
There once was a bad king
G
who gave up his crown
D
A
D
A
For running his kingdom
right into the ground
D
But the will of the people
G
could not be denied
D
A
D
So into the castle a new king did ride
B
The friends of the old king
Bm
G
could not understand
D
Why peace and prosperity
A
now ruled the land
Bm
But the old king's horseshit
G
and the old king's friends
D
A
Couldn't restore him to
power again
D
G
Couldn't restore him to power

again
Now the son of the old king
G
was a white -knuckled drunk.
D
Everything that he touched
A
turned into junk.
D
He was drunker and dumber
G
D
than the most common folk.
G
A
D
Everything that he said come out as joke.
B
The old king said, Your Majesty,
A
G
I've got a request, sir.
D
Would you employ my son
A
as the kingdom's court jester?"
Bm
But the truth was the old king
D
G
an d all of his friends
D
Were itching to get back
A
D
in power again.
A
D
G
D
Itching to get back in power again.
The new king considered the
G
old king's request
D
A
And, to be fair,
the new king was quite fond of jest
D
So, with malice towards none,
G
he gave the position
D
To the son of the old king
A
D
to ease the transition
Bm
The loudest and dumbest
G
of peasants rejoiced
D
And sing that the new king
A
had made a good choice
Bm
But the old king's horseshit
D
G
and the old king's friends
D
G
A
would soon tip the balance of power again,
D
soon tip the balance of
A
D
G
D
G
D
power again.
The first day the jester
G
D
showed up with a grin,
but he didn't tell jokes,
A
he merely broke wind,
D
he played to the crowd's
G
ignorant superstition
D
and accused disbelievers
A
D
of downright sedition.
B
He lied, and he laughed,
Bm
G
and much mud he did sling
D
Till the crowd just went crazy
A
and murdered the king
Bm
The old king's horse shed
D
G
and the old king's friends
D
A
Had swindled the people and
come back again
D
Swindled the people and
A
D
G
D
come back again
The jester declared war
G
on several nations,
D
Then he went off on one
A
long extended vacation,
D
He looted the treasure for
G
D
what it was worth,
Even destroyed that stone
A
D
that said peace on earth.
B
Miles of wilderness were
G
burned and laid bare,
D
While rhetoric and hate
A
spewed out tons of
D
The jester king's horseshit
Bm
G
and the jester king's friends
D
were filling the kingdom
A
D
with foul air again.
A
Killing the kingdom with foul
D
A
G
D
air again.
But far to the south,
G
D
the storm clouds did gather.
A
People detected a change
in the weather.
D
This hot air you're spewing
G
D
has started to fester
Where is our savior?
A
D
Where is the jester?
Bm
But the Jester King laughed
G
as the people made haste
A
D
The soft black underbelly
A
of the kingdom laid waste
Bm
D
Bm
The Jester King's horseshit
D
G
and the Jester King's friends
D
Couldn't put things back
A
to gether again
D
Couldn't put things back
A
D
G
D
together again.
The bodies were floating,
G
D
the levee was breached.
A
D
The gates of the kingdom
A
were soon under siege.
D
Let this be a lesson
G
D
to those that would rule.
A kingdom can't last
A
D
at the hands of a fool.
B
And the people's blind trust
Bm
G
in a God that would save them
D
Works the best when they use the brain
A
that God gave them
D
Bm
The Jester King's horse shit
D
G
and the Jester King's friends
D
Made sure that they'd never
A
taste freedom again
D
Made sure that they'd never
