lyrics

Oh, you thought you knew, you didn't know.
The hero stops right in his tracks.
And there aint no looking back.
You gotta long long way to go.

Tried to inform you, I could've warned you too.
Tried to inform you, I could've warned you too.

Oh, I stumble then I fall.
Hit the ground I start to crawl.
Got your back against the wall.
And you got no one to call. x2

Only the Jester knows the truth.
That the King's crown is no good.
When you put it on a fool.
Jack of all trades doesn't have any rules.

Oh, it's neither here nor there.
Start to reach for your sword.
Gotta win the war.
And who knows what it's for?

Tried to inform you, I could've warned you too.
Tried to inform you, I could've warned you too.

Oh, I stumble then I fall.
Hit the ground I start to crawl.
Got your back against the wall.
And you got no one to call. x2

Only the Jester knows the truth.
That the King's crown is no good.
When you put it on a fool.
Jack of all trades doesn't have any rules. x2

Oh, I stumble then I fall.
Hit the ground I start to crawl.
Got your back against the wall.
And you got no one to call. x2
