Lyrics Badflower – The Jester
Text:
Like a Jester at the ball
Rubbed my shoulders with the kings
And I was draped in gold and velvet
Bathing in applause while I was jumping through the rings
And all the kings would lick their lips
But I couldn’t find a place mat
The dinner table’s full and there’s no room for me to sit
Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
Just say you want me, just say you need me
Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
Lord, I live to entertain
All my pride is in my praise
I hum along with this vibration
And hope to god I make it
If any chord that I could strum
Made me feel less like a man
I’d slam my fingers in the doorway
And shatter all the bones so I could never strum again
Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
Just say you want me, just say you need me
Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
‘Cause every last soldier’s fucking me over
Tears on their shoes and ice on their shoulders
Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
Just say you want me, just say you need me
Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
Is every last soul just fucking me over
With tears on their shoes and ice on their shoulders
…
