All-American Rejects, The - Jack's Lament Lyrics
There are few who'd deny, at what I do I am the best
For my talents are renowned far and wide
When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night
I excel without ever even trying
With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike charms
With the wave of my hand, and a well-placed moan
I have swept the very bravest off their feet
Yet year after year, it's the same routine
And I grow so weary of the sound of screams
And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King
Have grown so tired of the same old thing
Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones
An emptiness began to grow
A longing that I've never known
I'm a master of fright, and a demon of light
And I'll scare you right out of your pants
To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mister Unlucky
And I'm known throughout England and France
And since I am dead, I can take off my head
To recite Shakespearean quotations
No animal nor man can scream like I can
With the fury of my recitations
But who here would ever understand
That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin
Would tire of his crown, if they only understood
He'd give it all up if he only could
Oh, there's an empty place in my bones
That calls out for something unknown
The fame and praise come year after year
Does nothing for these empty tears

All-American Rejects, The Jack's Lament Comments
Anyone listening in 2019
Who else is listening in 2019?
My man sounds constipated and pissed.
it’s November how am i here?
it’s gonna be thanksgiving on Thursday
(2019)
I have a vivid memory of me singing this song in my kindergarten talent show in 2009...
it's that time of year again :)
Yasss queens spooktober is heeeeeere
And over ;-;
while i prefer the original to listen to this one fits very well to the actual scene, jack sounds proper DEPRESSED here, which he is in this scene, he sounds tired like all the passion has been drained out of him exept for a few key moments to show he still likes what he does, hes just tired of doing it over and over.
:'( NOOOOOOO
i am a gay boy
"I'll scare you right out of your PANTS!!!"
I think this would’ve sounded amazing if done by Linkin Park. Chester would’ve done an amazing job at both emoting the raw emotions of the musical aspect while adding his rock edge. Like how he did justice to Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep.” RIP Chester.
This is absolute garbage. Completely butchered it with his whiny voice. FFPD should've taken this one....
This comment made me chuckle like an insane person lol.
He does sound whiny though, and kinda annoying.
Good. Very good. Spooky, Charming, and he sounds like Jack with more sadness where its needed.
This the season
I seriously dislike this
This isnt very good, is it....I want a better voice to do this
@Aliyah M definitely not
Its the 1st of OCTOBER BABY WHOOOOOOOO!!!! HALLOWEEN MUSIC
theres something i just adore about his voice
La original es mejor, tiene más sentimiento
if you listen to the lyrics reeeeeaally closely, this song is actually about a sad prostitute
lmao wtf?
Aliyah M just....think
@Nør 5k1 Hmmm... Now that I think about it, my dirty mind possesses me everytime I listen to this song and as a kid, there were some lines I thought were dirty.
Interesting...
They ruined it... 😒
anyone reminiscing in 2019
It amuses me how many comments there are saying how stupid the hate comments are, even though there are ZERO hate comments.
I love his voice 😍😍😍😍
Christmas in July
#i_love_blue
the play
No, I'm Sorry, but Elfman's version Is the best
This is so fucking stupid what the fuck. The dudes voice has to be gully and scary. THATS THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT. You cant just sing it the same way u sing songs about ur HS days. Does anybody take their job seriously anymore jesus chrsit
"chrsit"
The dull-gay version
Ahhhh.... I love listening to my favorite Halloween tunes soon before the holiday...
Wait, it's May.
Shut your mouth past me it's nearly Halloween now.

2019?...No?......
I love the different people who did these songs a mix of new age old and loved
For fs sake marilyn Manson did this is Halloween
Nightmare before Christmas is a master peicd of animation songs and story
0:46 my favorite line of the whole song
This is such a sexy cover not gonna lie.
I’m sorry, but when is the live action movie coming out with these songs? Tim burton and Disney I’m waiting
The singer should be a voice actor, he played this role pretty well honestly.
Is it just me, or does looking at the album cover while listening to this sound what his voice sounds like???
I actually like this better than the og
I keep picturing Zack Efron singing this song in a graveyard.
I understand why people hate this version.
His voice 😍😍😍😍
I love All-American Rejects and all but... MCR where you at?
2018 e tamo aí. ♥
Terrible.
A true abomination.
It's that time of year again guys. 2018??
I can see why they were rejects.....
*its a pun calm down .-.*
It's odd being able to kinda relate to this.
Every year I get a bunch of messages and comments of people who want me to update my Skyrim Halloween mod, and after six years I'm kinda getting sick of it.
-I say as I'm working on it, once again.

Sounds like a retarded person trying to sing it... Literally the most ass singing/talk voice... You have no pitch no tones, so nasily an monotoned. How the fuck did you become famous.
That’s just his voice and I personally love it. But you have your opinion just saying.
Why am I here it's July 18!!!!!!!!!
The indominus racks
Lol the captions at 1:53 "to a guy who can dougie"😂😂😂
*e m o s u n i t e*
Is summer and I'm listening this lmao
The Emos have claimed Nightmare Before Christmas... I honestly don’t have a problem with that
Guys, we all have our opinions on this song, let's not create a battle feild of the comments, k? If you don't like it, great! Then just leave and listen something you like! If you like it, great! Keep it civil guys!
Lillian Davila why? The Civil War wasn't CIVIL!!!!!
Miangelina Ortiz-Marcano there are many definitions for one word. Civil is one of those words
the youtube subtitles are broken
1:47 youtube subtitles: let's get right out of your pants
it's june and im ready for october
0:45 (Subtitles): I have slept the very bravest of the feet. (What the fuck?)
(Also, the lyrics that say "Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones, an emptiness began to grow." I find it to be very relatable.)
HOW DOES 'I'm a master of fright and a demon of light and I'll scare you right out of your pants' become ' I'm a master of pride and a demon let's get right out of your pants'
It's like April what
I LOVE IT!!
It's April and I AM PUMPED FOR HALLOWEEN!
Its Saint Patrick's Day....
*Switches Date to October 30th*

Subtitles at 1:50

TO A GUY WHO CAN DOUGIE

the captions are my religion
i'll scare you right out of your pants is lets get you out of your pants with the captions omfg
my life
Man this song is spot on
The Nightmare before Christmas is my favorite Halloween/ Christmas Disney Movie.
