Arrogant Queen

[Intro]

("She's simply awful. Oooooooooooh!")

[Verse 1]

She was quite mean with her pagan mom's genes

And all men squirmed once she was supreme

When the princes all died, the Jews would tremble at her name -- yeah-eh

The dreaded Athaliah, she started to reign

[Chorus 1]

Arrogant queen

Now they've buried the slain king

And your heartless deed is done

No more sons on the throne

[Verse 2]

She proved quite cruel, then she met with her doom

And in Second Kings I read just how and by whom

Eleventh chapter, you can read more

Joash's birth she had somehow ignored

[Pre-Chorus]

The High Priest in charge was a good guy

Jehoiada by name, yay-ay

The Lord was preservin' David's royal line, yeah-ee

[Chorus 2]

Arrogant queen (Can't keep the throne)

Now you're scary like gangrene (Don't know when to stop)

And you thought your team had won (Ooh-yeah!)

No, there's one other son (Don't want ya, don't need ya)

[Chorus 3]

Arrogant queen (Can't keep the throne)

Now you're staring at brave priests (They called the cops)

And they guard the king's last son (Ooooh-ooh yeah!)

No more blood on the throne (Ah! -- Oooh! Oooh! Uh! Yeah!)

[Instrumental Break feat. Synth Sax]

[Chorus 4]

Arrogant queen (Her kingdom's done)

Now you're snared in your vain scheme (Her time has come)

And your harpy feet can't run (That old crazy old lady)

No more blood on the throne (Ooh yeah, oh yeah)

[Chorus 5]

Arrogant queen (Her kingdom's done)

Now you're sharing the same scream (Her time has come)

As your harsh, extremist mom (They all hated that lady)

No more blood on the throne (Ooh yeah, oh yeah)

[Outro]

Ooh ooh ooh ooh -- ooh-ooh-ooh yeah

Ooh ooh ooh ooh -- ooh-ooh-yeah uhhh

Seize the queen -- that terrible queen, yeah

In Second Chronicles read 22 and 23
