Who is “me” in this song?
It was obvious yet I couldn’t see it because Napoleon would never become a traitor and I had every reason to view him as a traitor. That was the picture that was created for me. That’s how things things work - if you catch my drift. These realities are conjured up by left hand path magicians so they as a group can keep always getting their way.
We are both nice people who would’ve gotten along if it hadn’t been for all of these barrels thrown at our feet and all this sand kicked in our eyes. So many of our problems - all of us - are being conjured up by very very selfish witches. They need to open the door on that cult of theirs.
Those contracts are thrown out. They were made in bad faith and under duress. Maybe the next time you send your assassins out that will finally be the end of what you all have been doing to us. We can hope for an end to this reign of terror, right? We are many and you are few.
They’re Not Laughing At Me Now Lyrics
Tell me, how does it feel?
In the hour of deception and the moment of pretend
To be scorned by those rank and those unkind strangers
You were fool enough to call your friends
Will you say as the curtain descends?
"They're not laughing at me now"
When the last of the garlands and laurel crowns and fine bouquets have all been swept away
You were lost in the smokescreens of cavalcades and accolades instead of traitor's pay
Where will you find the courage to say?
"They're not laughing at me now"
You could shake my hand
If I could unfold my fist
If I were a gentleman
If I were a Christian
But I wouldn't risk it
Why would you?
You know my name now
And it's "Mister" to you.
Now we're back at the start, no forgiveness in your heart, you turned your coat and asked me to turn my cheek
And it's all in a language that I can understand but never bring myself to speak
I'll leave it to you, if you dare
It's a peal too appalling to bear
I wonder if you're here or you're there
They're not laughing at me now
