King Of The Fools

Look around me all I see
Thousands of faces wanting me
How can I lead?
How can I rule?
When I'm the king of the fools
What kind of kindom have no throne?
No crown or castle do I own
I don't have silver, gold or jewels
Yet I'm the king, king of the fools
And I can't help believin'
The world is on my side
No, I can't help believin'
In my heart
But I can't stop this feeling
That I should run and hide
So before I die I'll sit and wonder why
Oh, I wonder why
King of the fools
Who face the world defiantly
King if the fools
Understanding less than me
King of the fools
Oh, I'm the king, king of the fools
The outside world can't understand
Just who we are or what I am
Well, we don't want their life or rules
I'll be the king, king of the fools
King of the fools
I proudly rule for all to see
King of the fools
There's nothing else I'd rather be
King of the fools
Yes, I'm the king, king of the fools
King of the fools
King of the foooools
And I can't help believin'
The world is on my side
No, I can't help believin'
In my heart
But I can't stop this feeling
That I should run and hide
So before I die I'll sit and wonder why
Oh, I'll wonder why
King of the fools
I hear them laugh and shout at me
King of the fools
They shake their heads in disbelief
King of the fools
Oh, I'm the king, king of the fools
King of the fools
Who are these people to cast stones
King of the fools
Better a fool than just a clone
King of the fools
Yes, I'm the king, king of the fools
King of the fools
King of the foooools
