The Jester Lyrics
A jester of sorts
You stand holding your court
Over minions of capital hill
In a bath full of blood
All alone, standing still
Under God, you can fire at will
And when (when!)
The devil's angels come
Take your life and lead you
To the flies beneath
Go ahead so we kill (hey!)
And lose the dead who was,
Above us and beneath us,
Waiting in their graves,
It's a nation free for all
A prodigal son
Can't undo what he's done
A figure head of capital crime
With a light shining down
As you fall to your knees
To repent would be nothing but lies
And when (when!)
The devil's angels come
Take your life and lead you
To the flies beneath
Go ahead so we kill (hey!)
And lose the dead who was,
above us and beneath us,
waiting in their graves,
It's a nation free for all
la la la la la la la la la la la (hey!) (hey!).....
Dead beat
Six feet
Dead underground
An eye for an eye
All the leaders are blind
Going once twice and then it goes down
And when (when!)
The devil's angels come
Take your life and lead you
To the flies
Go ahead so we kill (hey!)
And lose the dead who was,
above us and beneath us,
waiting in their graves,
Its a nation free for all
You stand holding your court
Over minions of capital hill
In a bath full of blood
All alone, standing still
Under God, you can fire at will
The devil's angels come
Take your life and lead you
To the flies beneath
Go ahead so we kill (hey!)
And lose the dead who was,
Above us and beneath us,
Waiting in their graves,
It's a nation free for all
Can't undo what he's done
A figure head of capital crime
With a light shining down
As you fall to your knees
To repent would be nothing but lies
The devil's angels come
Take your life and lead you
To the flies beneath
Go ahead so we kill (hey!)
And lose the dead who was,
above us and beneath us,
waiting in their graves,
It's a nation free for all
Six feet
Dead underground
All the leaders are blind
Going once twice and then it goes down
The devil's angels come
Take your life and lead you
To the flies
Go ahead so we kill (hey!)
And lose the dead who was,
above us and beneath us,
waiting in their graves,
Its a nation free for all

I heard that one of their songs off "Underclass Hero" was banned from the radio 'cos it made fun of Bush too much. Is it this one? Sounds like it could be.
@colleenx No the song you're talking about is March of the Dogs, but this could've been banned somewhere else

Can't believe no one has commented on this song yet.
Absolute ripper of a track... best on the album I reckon..
I think this song is about exactly what the title says.... Idiots.
Possibly a political twist to it.
This song was my favourite and the chorus is amazing and so explosive but the first verse ruins it for me now. I hear the first line and go to the next track.
I think this songs about war and the people who are serving the US in Iraq right now.
This is probably my favorite song from the new album. The lyrics are a little off tho...
The Chorus should be this: When the devil's angels come to take your life and lead you to the flames beneath your headstone reads now here lies the dead who was hung by his head beneath us they're laying in their graves damnation free for all
and the part after "Deadbeat six feet dead underground" should go like this:
An eye for an eye only leaves us all blind Going once twice there goes your life
other than that its pretty much all right, and I'd have to agree that its about the government and what idiots they are and the mistakes theyre making that they can't undo
Chorus goes like this:
And when the devil's angles come Take your life and lead you To the flames beneth Your headstone reads here Lies the dead who was Hung by his head beneth us Laying in their graves Damnation free-for-all
And bridge goes like:
Deadbeat, six feet dead underground An eye for an eye only leaves us all blind Going once, twice, there goes your life
Such a beautiful song. Possibly my favorite from the new CD
Is it just me or does the chorus of this song sound similar to the chorus of My Chemical Romance's "House of Wolves"??
That's exactly what I thought the first time I heard this song.

Totally does. Both are crazy good.
