Like A King Lyrics - Welcome To The Cruel World - Ben Harper

Well Martin's dream 

has become Rodney's worst nightmare 

can't walk the streets 

to them we are fair game 

our lives don't mean a thing 

like a king, like a king, like a king 

Rodney King, Rodney King, Rodney King 

like a king, like a king, like a king 

how I wish you could help us Dr. King

Make sure it's filmed 

shown on national T.V. 

they'll have no mercy 

a legal lynch mob 

like the days strung up from the tree 

the L.A.P.D. 

like a king, like a king, like a king 

Rodney King, Rodney King, Rodney King 

like a king, like a king, like a king 

how I wish you could help us Dr. King 

So if you catch yourself 

thinking it has changed for the best 

you better second guess 

cause Martin's dream 

has become Rodney's worst 

nightmare
