No crown or castle do I own I don't have silver, gold or j**els Yet I'm the king, king of the fools And I can't help believin' The world is on my side No, I can't help believin' 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 face the world defiantly King if 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 or rules I'll be the king, king of the fools King of the fools I 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 foooools And I can't help believin' The world is on my side No, I can't help believin' 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'll 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 stones King of the fools Better a fool than just a clone King of the fools Yes, I'm the king, king of the fools King of the fools King of the foooools
