Hosanna, loud hosanna sang
The crowd as they spared no
Honor for you, spreading their
Cloaks and waving their palms
And pledging allegiance to the
King, and his Kingdom which
Stood for liberty, and the pursuit
Of whatever we want.
Were you there, were you there, O
My people, when they screamed
Hosanna! this week and the
Next: Crucify him!
I was there. I was there.
I said "Save us" and then "Go to hell."
I waved a palm branch and then threw a punch.
I took off my cloak and then covered everything up.
I did not hear, over my shouting, your weeping for Jerusalem. For me.
O You, O You, have mercy on me...
