The Tenants

The rejected stone Is the cornerstone And the one who falls on it Is broken to pieces A landlord planted a vineyard Fenced in the property And built a winepress And a tower The leased it out to some tenants The rejected stone Is the cornerstone And the one who falls on it Is broken to pieces When the rent was due The landlord sent some employees to collect The tenants beat some and killed others The landowner sent some more employees But the same thing happened again The rejected stone Is the cornerstone And the one who falls on it Is broken to pieces The landowner sent his son Believing the tenants would respect them They did not They killed him So now the landlord must kill them all And take the vineyard back The rejected stone Is the cornerstone And the one who falls on it Is broken to pieces
