Beast

The old king sits in his big white castle

From there he can see all the world’s great hassle

He thinks he knows why it goes as it goes

And that nothing escapes his authoritative gaze

Well luckily he’s as vain as a peacock

as easy to fool as a sitting duck

And he forgot that the desperate douche –

he’s got nothing to choose from

and nothing to – nothing to lose

There’s a ravenous fox

Outside the chicken coop

He looks at his watch

Time to make the move

His earless belly aches

Outside the king’s keep

He’s chewing his fingers

He’s licking his teeth

Sire, let me in, I’m outta my pills

Just hit me up so can pay my bills

I used to be one of your loyal cadets

And now I go pulling my empty fishing nets

I’m still young I know I don’t look my age

I’ve got plenty of time, let me out of my cage

What would you do if you stood in my shoes

I’ve got nothing to choose from 

And nothing to – nothing to lose
