Call me your’s

Call me small

Call me pretty

Say it all

Call me your’s

Never mine

Call me ruined

I won’t whine

———

But I hear the cries of your people

They’re begging you, they’re begging you to stop

They’re begging you for once please be merciful

You don’t have to be the one always on top

———

Say you’re sad

Say you cried

Say you’re frightened

That you hide

I see the hate

In your eyes

You are haughty

Full of lies

———

But I hear the cries of your people

They’re begging you, they’re begging you to stop

They’re begging you for once please be merciful

You don’t have to be the one always on top

———

Call me bitch

Call me whore

Say I’ll never

Deserve more

Say you’re great

Full of wit

I won’t say you’re

Full of it

———

But I hear the cries of your people

They’re begging you, they’re begging you to stop

They’re begging you for once please be merciful

You don’t have to be the one always on top

———

I’m betting, sir, that your father adored you

I’m betting, sir, that the servants deplored you

I’m betting sir, that the kingdom was yours

And all the bountiful riches it stored

I’m betting, sir, that you never knew pain

That you never knew hierarchy’s reign

Except of course, you are hierarchy’s god

You don’t spare the shackles, you don’t spare the rod

———

And I hear the cries of your people

They’re begging you, they’re begging you to stop

They’re begging you for once please be merciful

You don’t have to be the one always on top

———

May your palace burn with you in it, your highness

My life is for my people and planet, their kindness246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkMo67VJGI
