Gone Astray

(2 Samuel 11)
parody of Gone Away written and performed by the Offspring

David took another wife
From his man Uriah
Killed him off just for a bride
Two Samuel it's written there

And it seems
And it seems like
David's no star today
And he steals
Yeah he steals wives
Much more than he could hold
Now his eye's gone astray


One of David's thirty brave
Sacrificed unfair
Attack forces in hailed arrows
They pulled back, he died in the siege

His liege took his bride
Risked all for his dame
And his wife he made
Not good

And it seems
And it seems like
David's no star today
Even kings
Yeah they sin now
Sons we are told
So they too've gone astray
Gone astray, gone astray, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Ouuhhh, yeah ouhhh, ouhh yeah

His liege took his bride
Risked all for his dame
Now Queen Bathsheba
Not good

And it seems
And it seems like
Nathan's warning today
And they hear
Yeah they hear right
Their son will go cold
Cause their eyes went astray
Gone astray, gone astray, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Ouuhhh, yeah ouhhh, ouhh ohh oh yeah
Ouuhhh, yeah ouhhh, ouhh ohh oh yeah
