Sometimes jacks rule the realm

Can't you tell

The swimmers drown

Without a sound

A chalkboard scratching sound

Could craze the town

An emperor's clothes

Never be exposed



I took it as a compliment

Regardless what they meant

It could have been innocent

Spent, so spent

Railing against undeserved

Dangling precipitants

Raining down idiots

Always flapping in the

Flapping in the wind



I took it as a compliment

No matter what they meant

Could have been belligerent

Could have been half percent

Could have been wanting

Afraid to have been caught promising

Ended up taunting me



I can't change that

I can't change

I can't change that

I can't change



I'm watching you

Not sure what's true

Life can be so cruel

There's nothing you can do

But it fades...

Only to return

I feel your eyes burn

I really am concerned



Sometimes jacks will rule
