sum 41 - the jester



a jester of sorts 

you stand holding your court 

over minions of capital hill 

in a bath full of blood 

all alone, standing still 

under god, you can fire at will 



and when (when!) 

the devil\'s angels come 

take your life and lead you 

to the flies beneath 

go ahead so we kill (hey!) 

and lose the dead who was, 

above us and beneath us, 

waiting in their graves, 

it\'s a nation free for all 



a prodigal son 

can\'t undo what he\'s done 

a figure head of capital crime 

with a light shining down 

as you fall to your knees 

to repent would be nothing but lies 



and when (when!) 

the devil\'s angels come 

take your life and lead you 

to the flies beneath 

go ahead so we kill (hey!) 

and lose the dead who was, 

above us and beneath us, 

waiting in their graves, 

it\'s a nation free for all 



la la la la la la la la la la la (hey!) (hey!)..... 



dead beat 

six feet 

dead underground 



an eye for an eye 

all the leaders are blind 

going once twice and then it goes down 



and when (when!) 

the devil\'s angels come 

take your life and lead you 

to the flies 

go ahead so we kill (hey!) 

and lose the dead who was, 

above us and beneath us, 

waiting in their graves, 

it\'s a nation free for all
