Mad King |
| Man made of earth, and woman made of bone |
| No good together, and no good alone |
| Take your chances on your own |
| Down in the valley the people built a wall |
| Ten feet wide and twenty feet tall |
| It cast a shadow over them all |
| High up on the tippy top the people placed their king |
| A man of short stature with a shiny gold ring |
| All the kings jokers shuffle through the crowd |
| To silence the people who think too loud |
| Look up high and if the rain won’t fall |
| Pray all night until you break that wall |
| Look up high and if the sun won’t shine |
| Drown your weary soul in blood red wine |
| Mad king to break your bones |
| Help you die and take your home |
| So i dug a big whole, on the other side of the wall |
| And I pushed the king off and watched him fall |
| Down |
| Where the laboring dead dig away |
| To make a hole where he will stay |
| Deep, deep down in hell |
| And there they’ll keep him very well |
| Look up high and if the rain won’t fall |
| Pray all night until you break that wall |
| Look up high and if the sun won’t shine |
| Drown your weary soul in blood red wine |
| Man made of earth, and woman made of bone |
| No good together, and no good alone |
| Take your chances on your own |
