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 |
