Sometimes jacks rule the realm
  Can't you tell
  The swimmers drown
  Without a sound
  A chalkboard scratching sound
  Could craze the town
  An emperor's clothes
  Never be exposed
    I took it as a compliment
  Regardless what they meant
  It could have been innocent
  Spent, so spent
  Railing against undeserved
  Dangling precipitants
  Raining down idiots
  Always flapping in the
  Flapping in the wind
    I took it as a compliment
  No matter what they meant
  Could have been belligerent
  Could have been half percent
  Could have been wanting
  Afraid to have been caught promising
  Ended up taunting me
    I can't change that
  I can't change
  I can't change that
  I can't change
    I'm watching you
  Not sure what's true
  Life can be so cruel
  There's nothing you can do
  But it fades...
  Only to return
  I feel your eyes burn
  I really am concerned
    Sometimes jacks will rule the realm
  Sometimes jealousy will dwell
  You can't begin to dispel
  When you can not even tell
    What makes me act the way I do
  And why am I asking you
  What makes me act the way I do
  And why am I asking you
  What makes me act the way I do
  And why am I asking you
    Sometimes jacks will rule the realm
  Sometimes jealousy will dwell
  You can't begin to dispel
  When you can not even tell
  Sometimes jacks will rule the realm
  Sometimes jealousy will dwell
  You can't begin to dispel
  When you can not even tell
