Jake's Flea Market

one like durchschnitts

were he from brandenburg   he'd return
to berlin

were he of the margraviate
he'd return to be   again the youngest
brother to the elector

were he to go preach   to minister
to teach

before he'd be respected
as a pastor or a clergyman   he'd be remembered
as the youngest hohenzollern

it'd be whispered
that he'd returned to reclaim his inherited
name   his inherited title

a title without property   without power
without purpose   a life

the life a youngest brother is heir to

but he's not a youngest brother
he's not from brandenburg

there's a place that waits for someone
to come   to earn a reputation
a life as a preacher   a teacher
