Sad Truths
19 hours of sulking around,
makes nobody-nobody proud
just because you want to be king,
but you know you're not allowed
but you're just a doll on a string,
but you can't do anything without your queen and king
no-not a single thing
yes, you see the king's high throne
but the king knows you're nothing but a little noisy drone
but you think, that's not fair,
you just want to sit on that high chair
but you know that they don't care
but you still hear the queen on the stairs
and you know you're trapped in your own evil lair
and you know you're just a little poor boy,
and you know there isn't joy
