Users - Lyrics - Whipping Boy

A whipping boy was a young boy who was assigned to a young prince and was punished when the prince misbehaved or fell behind in his schooling. Whipping boys were established in the English court during the monarchies of the 15th century and 16th centuries. They were created because of the idea of the divine right of kings, which stated that kings were appointed by God, and implied that no one but the king was worthy of punishing the kingâs son. Since the king was rarely around to punish his son when necessary, tutors to the young prince found it extremely difficult to enforce rules or learning.

I have used so many people For no reason or no gain Sometimes it's just for fun Or a way to keep me sane There's someone lost inside of me Who drowned in risky games You ask too many questions for me to feel okay What if you lost all those fears of me I tell you it's not easy Cause with grace I made you pay The limits that we set make good lovers turn away Remember how not long ago We screwed away the pain I tell you it's not easy, each dog must play his game What if you lost all those fears of me I'll let you go so don't beg me, beg me I'll let you go so don't beg me, beg me I'll let you go so don't beg me, beg me Now you've gone and I'm still same But that will never change A bitter love, a broken love, a love that stays the same Now you've gone and I'm to blame There's nothing left to say I told you it's not easy, each dog must play his game Walk out of here, you could run out of time But I'm never gonna get to you You have loved all my lies and plagued my desires But I'm never gonna get to you It's the end of my time and I have to decide If I ever wanna see it through Beg me, beg me, beg me
