The Sharpest Tool (Mask of the Jester)

You only call when the sky is falling down

Looking for the king, but you found the clown

You need a fix, you need a quick repair

Someone to drag you out of your despair

I used to think that it was love or fate

But now I see it's just something you calculate

So here's the smile, painted ear to ear

I'll be the jester that you hold so dear

Virtue is a joke that nobody gets

So I'm placing all my money on different bets

If I'm just a tool in your shed

I'll be the sharpest one, enough said

I'll cut through the noise and I'll cut through the lies

I'll be the gleam in your desperate eyes

Use me, abuse me, throw me away

But I'm the one laughing at the end of the day

Dance for the court, dance for the queen

The most efficient machine that you've ever seen

I'm good for the panic, I'm good for the scare

But don't look too close, there's nobody there

I built a fortress out of jokes and grins

Hiding the place where the real rot begins

So here's the smile, painted ear to ear

I'll be the jester that you hold so dear

Virtue is a joke that nobody gets

So I'm placing all my money on different bets

If I'm just a tool in your shed

I'll be the sharpest one, enough said!

I'll cut through the noise and I'll cut through the lies

I'll be the gleam in your desperate eyes

Use me, abuse me, throw me away

But I'm the one laughing at the end of the day

You think you know me? You don't know a thing

I'm pulling the strings while you kiss the ring

You want a performance? You want a disguise?

Watch me vanish right before your eyes!

If I'm just a tool in your shed

I'll be the sharpest one, enough said

I'll cut through the noise and I'll cut through the lies

I'll be the gleam in your desperate eyes

Sharpest tool in the shed

Watch your fingers

Ha ha ha!
