 Words and music by 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
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
Like a King, like a King, like a King
Like a King, like a King, like a King
Like a King, like a King, like a King
How I wish... like a King, like a King
Like a King, like a King, like a, like a King
Like a King, like a King, like a King
When we will look to the past
Look to the past to learn ?
I wish...
Like a king, like a king, like a king
Like a king, like a king, like a king
Bye and bye we must go to see the King
