Lyrics for Master of None as interpreted by kingchipmunk1112

Master of None Lyrics
You always to the parties
To pluck the feathers off all the birds
All your knees
I will not beg you please

I want your picture but not your words
You know they want it, but there's no verse
On your own
But you can not call it your all

We always run our heads too much
We know the reasons, but such and such
On your own,
You will not let your arm go

We run our fingers together
you know it's easy, devil's plan
On your own,
You can not call me your all

Jack of all trades
Master of none
Cry all the time
Cause i'm not having fun

Tou always want to be forgiven
The devil loves what you ask of him
On your knees
But you can not; you will not agree

I don't hear anything about a "beast" like the evangelical guy that thinks this song is about some contradiction between god and the devil...

Some things I do hear are:
"I want your picture but not yours
You know they want it but there's no firsts"

"We always wrung our heads too much"

"You know it's easy but devil's plan"

The whole bit at the beginning is sort of like the person's alter ego calling him out...or his/her foil. to pluck a bird is to little by little (symbolically) humiliate it, destroy its "plumage" or ostentatious display of its beauty. maybe this person likes to humiliate people and belittle them and their ideas. she/he--the foil--calls him/her out by saying, "On your knees"--basically calling the person a peasant and saying that he isn't worthy of the arbiter/kingly position and should honor the side of him/her that is speaking now--in the song.

the rest is a love-hate relationship sort of...kind of like the person singing the song has figured her counterpart out and is calling him out on everything...and is also calling herself out possibly as an alter ego or over-wrought (seemingly) evil conscience that isn't having fun (maybe) and wants to confess at the end of the relationship.
the not having fun line where she sings is is a great interpretation vocally--like a whining child.

maybe the last line is you cannot do without the beat. that one is tough. only too big lowerings of her voice throughout the song and both are the times at end of first stanza and end of second. i like chocolate entrees. haha bye

HM. I hear:
You always go to the parties
To pluck the feathers off all the birds
On your knees
I will not beg you please

I want your picture but not your words
You know they want it, but there's no first
On your own
But you can not call it your all

We always run our heads too much
We know the reasons, but such and such
On your own,
You will not catch your (??)

We run our fingers together
You know it's easy, the devil's plan
On your own,
But you can not call me your all

Jack of all trades
Master of none
Cry all the time
Cause I'm not having fun

You always want to be forgiven
The devil does what you ask of him
On your knees,
But you can not, you will not obey

This song is about a cool cat who sleeps around but will never be loved because of it, yo.

I always hear "the devil knows what you ask of me"
amazing amazing song anyway, even if no one can agree on the lyrics

I'm hearing:

"Waiting for the lashing to arrive, I've been blessed with a kingdom half mine."

possibly a reference to a messy divorce. Lashing = divorce. Kingdom half mine = entitlement to half the other's things because of marriage?

You always go to the parties
to pluck the feathers off all the birds
On your knees
I will not let you be

I want your picture but not yours
You know they want it, but there's no thirst
On your own
You can not call it your own

We always run our heads too much
We know the reasons but such and such
On your own
You will not let your unknown

We run our fingers together
You know it's easy, the devil's plan
On your own
You cannot call me your own

Jack of all trades
Master of none
I cry all the time
because I'm not having fun

You always want to be forgiven
The devil does what you ask of him
On your knees
You cannot
You will not agree

You always go to the parties
To pluck the feathers off all the birds
On your knees
I will not beg you beast
I want your picture, but not yours
I know they want it
But there’s no firsts
On your own
I cannot count you all

We want our heads too much
We know the reasons but such and such
On your own
I will not let your arm go

We run our fingers together
You know it’s easy the devil’s plan
On your own
You cannot call me your own

Chocolate entrees
Master of none
Crying all the time
Cuz I’m not having fun

You always want to be forgiven
The devil does what you ask of him
On your knees
You cannot, you’re the beast

this song, to me, seems to be obviously about comparing the act of partying with satan vs. worshiping God

Actually, "You know it's easy, but devils plan". That makes sense, too.

Hey that was great- I never would have been able to get all that. But there were a few things I disagree with you on; "You know they’re wanted, but there's no first", "We run our big heads together", "You know it's easy, the devils plan", "The devil does what you ask of him", and I also agree with what kgreww hears.
