I'd Rather be a Fool Than a King

I'd rather be a fool than a king

I'd rather be a fool than a king

for the hearts of kings are foul inside

I'd rather be a fool than a king

I'd rather be a drunk than a prince

I'd rather be a drunk than a prince

for the story of the prince is already known

I'd rather be a drunk than a prince

There's nothing to lose

when you are a Fool

as kings and queens must fall

I'd rather be a sinner than a priest

I'd rather be a sinner than a priest

for life is here and now, no heaven for me

I'd rather be a sinner than a priest

I'd rather be a fool than a king

I'd rather be thrown to the lions

than be blindly led by thirst of power and blood

I'd rather be a fool than a king

There's nothing to lose

when you are a Fool

as kings and queens must fall
