GIVE US A KING!

Jonathan was born

To become the King

We’ve never really had one

More deserving

To earn our yells so loud

Give us a king! Give us a King!

But our king will loot us

Rape us and enslave us

He will become a sly one

Wisdom of a snake; Gentle as a dove

His beauty will tempt our desires

And we will cry when he sits before us

Give us a king! Give us a king!

It was the cry we made

Not minding the doom we faced

If Jonathan does not become king

Perhaps, our David would have come

But he keeps wandering about

Running, for want of safety

While the king-makers made us see

Only Jonathan could be our song

Give us a king! Give us a king!

Now David may never ascend the throne

Our first king wants not a true king

So he fed on all our farmlands

Even sulking our lactating mothers

And when the sit be the only treasure left

He ate the treasure

So even if he dies on the battle field

The new king will never have a throne

He has ruled us on earth

He will rule us in heaven
