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 kingdom i've come from
no crown or castle, little 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 believing the world is on my side
no i can't help believing 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'll face the world defiantly
king of 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 of rules
i'll be the king, king of the fools

king of the fools - i'd 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 fooooooools

king of the fooooooools
king of the fooooooooooools

and i can't help believing the world is on my side
no i can't help believing 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 - 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 down
king of the fools - put all our fools across the globe
king of the fools - yes i'm the king, king of the fooooooools

king of the fooooooools
king of the fooooooooooools
