about

"A true story from 8th grade about me beating up a psychopath, after he relentlessly bullied me for two months. He later chased a friend of mine with an aluminum baseball bat. Sweetheart."

lyrics

Once, when I was a child
I was a little disaster
Things that I couldn’t resolve
Wasn’t a lot to believe in
And that ain’t all
Ghost in the hall
Face in the crowd

Still, when I was a child
I was a little enforcer
Problems that wouldn’t dissolve
Went on attack for good reason
I couldn’t stand at all
The terrible Fall
Of ‘79

“I’d rather be a joker than a king”
The faithless kids beside me
They all sing
Reminds me of another memory

Knocked someone out in the yard.
Zakula had it coming
Without permission, I fled the scene
Suffered a case of amnesia
Nothin’ I could recall
Then I felt fine
Some of the time

“I’d rather be a joker than a king”
The faithless kids beside me
They all sing
Reminds me of another, better

Time
The way it used to pass
But that’s all ended
Hide your face behind a mask
But take it off for someone
You can’t stay on the run
Yeah take it off for someone
You can’t stay on the run
For Life

Solo

“I’d rather be a joker than a king”
The faithless kids beside me
They all sing
Reminds me once again
“I’d rather be a joker than your king”
The faithless kids beside me
They all sing
Reminds me of another, better

Time
The way it used to pass
But that’s all ended
Hide your face behind a
mask
But take it off for someone
You can’t stay on the run
Yeah take it off for someone
You can’t stay on the run
For Life
