We've Got Some News

歌詞

We've got some news, good King Darius We fear your position is precarious There are some people here in Babylon Who won't give you your due They'd rather bow to other men Can this be so? 'Tis true, oh, dear We've brought a solution of our own design If you'll just sight this paper on the dotted line It's an edict stating most concisely what we're all to do We must bow our heads or bend our knees before no one but you I see, just one more time, now, let's see if I've got this straight A law to prove once and for all that I am great If I'm the king, no one must doubt my full supremacy So, from this day forth my citizens will pray to only me Yes, but what if they don't? If they don't obey, any citizen Will be thrown into the lion's den, oh yes, well, I guess that would do it Alright then, good work, men, tah tah, so the law was passed The deed was done, Daniel's troubles had just begun Everyone in Babylon heard about the new law Including Daniel but Daniel also knew God's law And God's law told him that he should only pray to God
