The Lion's Share |
| Can i be unhappy? |
| Look at what i see |
| A beast in furs and crowned in luxury |
| He’s a wealthy man in the poorest land |
| A self-appointed king |
| And there’s no complaining while he’s reigning |
| The lambs are bare of fleece and cold |
| The lion has stolen that, i’m told |
| There must be some creature mighty as you are |
| The lambs go hungry (not fair) |
| The biggest portion is the lion’s share |
| There must be some creature mighty as you are |
| Can i be unhappy? |
| Listen and agree |
| No words can shame him or tame him |
| Razor claws in velvet paws |
| You dunce in your guarded home |
| 'til a stronger beast will call on you and |
| Pounce upon your throne |
| Do we pay? |
| Dearly, for the lion takes so greedily |
| And he knows that what he’s taken, it is ours |
| That’s how the wealth’s divided |
| Among the lambs and king of the beasts |
| It is so one-sided |
| Until the lamb is king of the beasts |
| We live so one-sided |
