Nowadays, to play a fool is to be cool
A fool indeed, being only society's tool
Narcissists are the ones that rule
They sit on their thrones and just drool

They wave their royal sceptre
And call for their favorite jester
A laugh to relieve all the pester
But they only become your molester

Dance for them, like a puppet on a string
While they eat puppies like it's Beijing
Now you must sing, just to please the king
All the while, you never feel their sting

Then when you're no longer entertaining
You are discarded, like a card from your magic deck
And you're left outside charred, scarred and marred.
