Put a Beggar on the Throne
April 11, 2015
Put a beggar on the throne
Let his name be carved in stone
As the people's fool, the magistrate
So wrongly sees fit to fit our fate
To us, he wears a crown of wood
To us, he does (naught) but good
Put a beggar on the throne
Better him than that old crone
A flowing river of a beard
Yet no fish would bed down here
Sitting in his kingly hall
Can't disguise the irony of it all
So put a beggar on the throne
We the people stand alone
