It Cannot Be

And Nineveh
Well they’re not!
There must be some mistake
A huge misunderstanding. It’s really hard to take
How could you be so demanding?
For years I’ve been your messenger from Moresheth to Gath
But Nineveh
Should get no chance to turn. They’ve earned your wrath
No, It cannot be. Your messages are meant for me and my brothers
We are your chosen people. And Nineveh
Well they’re not!
We’re the good guys and they’re the bad guys!
Please don’t send me there with the message of your mercy!
Damascus or Jerusalem-
I’ll be there in a minute!
Any town in Israel-
Just ask me and I’ll be in it!
Shiloh, Gilgal, Jericho-
Just say the word!
But Nineveh
That is just absurd!
Joppah, Apheck and Jezreel-They're all just fine!
But Nineveh…
Oh Nineveh…
No Nineveh is where i draw the line!
No, It cannot be
Your messages are meant for me
