[Verse 1] No mans a jester playing Shakespeare Round your throne room floor While the jugglers act is danced upon The crown that you once wore And sooner or later Everybodys kingdom must end And Im so afraid your courtiers Cannot be called best friends [Chorus] Caesars had your troubles Widows had to cry While mercenaries in cloisters sing And the king must die [Verse 2] Some men are better staying sailors Take my word and go But tell the ostler that his name was The very first they chose And if my hands are stained forever And the altar should refuse me, yeah Would you let me in, would you let me in, would you let me in? Should I cry sanctuary? [Chorus] Caesars had your troubles Widows had to cry While mercenaries in cloisters sing And the king must die, yeah! The king must die The king must die, oh, yeah [Bridge] No mans a jester playing Shakespeare Round your throne room floor While the jugglers act is danced upon The crown that you once wore The king is dead The king is dead The king is dead The king is dead [Outro] Long live the king
