That’s Saul

Just 'cause I got Israel goin' all right
They'd shout out a song when I fought a good fight
Saul was inflamed, it's just a shame but that's Saul
Guys'll say, David, you seem nice
He tells us you're bad, but we know that it's lies
I was defamed, it's just a shame, but that's Saul

I believe in my Lord, though
So in my heart I'm filled with hope
And yet still I think in my head I do not know
Oh, why does it always seem to be
Me lookin' to move and him lookin' for me?
King Saul is insane, it's just a shame, but that's Saul

Doin' me wrong, runnin' me off
Makin' me feel like the one who's nuts
Lately the dude's just been puttin' me through a horrible time
Runnin' me down, sayin' all those lies
Tickin' me off, still I think I won't fight
If I would do that I wouldn't be doin' all of what's right

I believe in my Lord, though
And it'll get easier, I hope
And yet still I think in my head I do not know
Why does it always seem to be
Me lookin' at huge dudes lookin' nasty?
It's always the same impressive frames that fall

Truth is there's one dude
Jonathan his number two
Makes a point of trying to be friends
Yes, his own son, who
Says he still likes me, too
Says we'll rule together in the end

[Instrumental]

Well, I could leave to find those old
Philistine leaders that I know
I can't kill the king, should I head down to my foes?
Oh, why does it always seem to be
Me lookin' to move, him lookin' for me
Is all this in vain? It's just a shame, but that's Saul

But there's one dude
Jonathan his number two
Makes a point of trying to be friends
Yes, his own son, who
Says he still likes me, too
Says we'll rule together in the end

But just as I thought, even though he's all right
They found out I'm gone, and his father's uptight
The problem's the same, you guessed his name
And that's Saul

Guys'll say David use a knife
Tell me attack him, I won't, but this strife
Is causing a strain, it's just a shame, but that's Saul
That's Saul
