King of Contradiction Lyrics
I've dethroned the king of contradiction
Or were you just a jester all along a simple pawn
Don't you know you can't count your tears like your money
Running down the drain
You don't need to pray for me 'cause I'm not the one to blame
I can't wait to see you going down in flames
How could it be know not what we've became
You lost the human race
I hope you burn like a cigarette in ashes
As your head comes down an crashes
Your throat pours blood from slashes
And I hope you never forget like a tatoo of regret this time, this time
You don't need to pray for me 'cause I'm not the one to blame
I can't wait to see you going down in flames
How could it be know not what we've became
You lost the human race
You're replaced now
Was nice to know you
Now your time is up so
Just drop dead
Or were you just a jester all along a simple pawn
Don't you know you can't count your tears like your money
Running down the drain
I can't wait to see you going down in flames
How could it be know not what we've became
You lost the human race
As your head comes down an crashes
Your throat pours blood from slashes
And I hope you never forget like a tatoo of regret this time, this time
I can't wait to see you going down in flames
How could it be know not what we've became
You lost the human race
Was nice to know you
Now your time is up so
Just drop dead

I'm not really sure about this song, maybe he's saying that he had a friend or something that isn't in his life anymore? And that he doesn't exactly wish the best for this person.
I expect he's putting another take on the song 'so long, goodbye' (also on this new album), which is generally accepted to be about Dave baksch, until very previously a member of sum 41, who decided to leave as he did not like the musical direction sum41 was taking (among other reasons). Whilst so long goodbye seems to be reasonably positive, and saying 'I understand you had to move on', it appears Mr. Whibley is letting out the other side of his feelings in this song. In this song he seems to wish Dave the worst, rather than the best. He seems to wish that Dave feels regret as to throwing away what was a very good chance to maintain relative fame and fortune, and for his own solo project (the brown brigade) to be a failure, as to show that it was either deryck or the sums as a group that had the talent, rather than Dave individually. I could probably ramble for a while about all the little meanings, but I won't, so feel happy!
seems more like its about dave.
