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 has no throne?
No crown or castle live I own
I don't have silver, gold or jewels
Yet I'm a king, king of the fools

BRIDGE:

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, who 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 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 fools

Solo - Eddie

REPEAT BRIDGE

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 fools
