You speak of love so fondly

But you just don't understand.

You say you're dying, you're hurt,

Why do you play "pretend"?

If you keep up this lying

You're still the king of fools!

Leading your band of monkeys,

Wherever you choose to go.

Cause you're "made to be a leader"

And you're slippery words hold the key.

You've gathered up your army

So that you can rule the world.

Don't pretend that you don't know me,

Unfortunately for me you do.

Should I buy you a spotlight?

And a big shiny mirror

So that everyday you can stop and stare?

Well I give you props for your success

You've almost got everyone fooled.

But I see through your fatal games,

And know that all you want is fame.

So keep on playing player,

And I'll pretend to bow,

To you O' King of Fools
