lyrics

INDIGENT KING
He’s the saddest man the world forgot.
Forget about them now.
He’s the victim of a kingdom
nobody’s figured out.
He’s a sad man, he can’t even laugh and see the irony.
What’s causing the misery that he can’t live without?

So take those crooks, and rope their sides
with baseball bats, brass knuckles, and knives.
You could aim a gun between your eyes
but doing nothing is an act of violence.
Doing nothing is an act of violence.
Doing nothing is an act of violence.

With a coin between your fingers you could wish for it all.
But the blind man’s gold is just a pillar made of salt.
So ask for it angrily, and demand menacingly
details of the heresy responsible in fault.
But you could not recall in the bliss of alcohol
that the blind man’s gold was just a pillar made of salt.
They were leaders in a set of their own doubtful sympathies.
Leaders in a set of their own doubtful sympathies.

So take those crooks, and rope their sides
with baseball bats, brass knuckles, and knives.
You could aim a gun between your eyes
but doing nothing is an act of violence.
Doing nothing is an act of violence.
Doing nothing is an act of violence.
