Small Man in a Big Chair

Small man 

In a big chair

Humiliating those in front of you

Completely bought into the alpha male tale

Provide you enough respect 

So he don't turn and rend me

Throw me jail

Make me need bail 

Your Honor or Judge

You a member of the bar

But you ain't acting like a lawyer

More like and educated street thug

Throwing your weight around

Misusing authority

Proves you a clown

Even if you think you're perceived 

As the most important man in town

We surrender 

You're the man

So we will respect you

But not because 

You are wise

Intelligent 

Or in the slightest way profound

But because you rule with fear

Are arbitrary 

And we are not sure 

Your judgement is sound

The court room for you 

A place to perform

The court room for the people

A great sanctuary

We don't want to be victims

If your temper changes on a whim

But we don't really need to worry 

Because the Lord fills your mouth 

Even if you don't acknowledge him

You're not Pontius Pilate 

Or a representative of Caesar 

But you too are controlled 

By He who governs 

All in the human theater 

So I shall not worry 

If my penalty is large or small

I will submit to authority

Because I am commanded to do so 

By He who is the law

The ultimate Alpha

Who humbled Himself as a servant

Died on a Cross for one and for all

Even for small alpha men

Who sit on large chairs

And think themselves tall
