Lyrics

VERSE 1:
“This is a dictatorship. It’s not a democracy.”
Those are the words my, quote, “pastor” used to say to me
At every staff meeting, every opportunity
It was an unstable kingdom for me
VERSE 2:
I moved to Haiti just after the turn of the century
I saw tires burned, busses flipped, heard gunshots aplenty
I saw election fraud that led to a coup d-etat, and I was only twenty
It was an unstable kingdom to say the least
CHORUS 1:
I know a thing or two about a lust for power
This is nothing new, the unjust devour
Everything in sight, like its their birthright
From their first breath to their final hour
Unstable kingdoms and kings
VERSE 3:
There was a chief exec who saw the writing on the wall
Tough times ahead, someone would to take a fall
Set his predecessor up so he could say he dropped the ball
It was an unstable kingdom for all
CHORUS 2:
I know a thing or two about a lust for power
This is nothing new, the unjust devour
Everything in sight, like its their birthright
From their first breath to their final hour
Unstable kingdoms and kings
VERSE 4:
I saw a man shipped away in the middle of the night
By a quiet coward, no regard for wrong or right
There was nothing he could say, no way to put up a fight
It was an unstable kingdom alright
CHORUS 3:
I know a thing or two about abuse of power
This is nothing new, the unjust devour
Everything in sight, like its their birthright
From their first breath to their final hour
Unstable kingdoms and kings
